Dr. Hsiung,
In continuing with my summery to clear up any misunderstandings, you asked me, [...which reply...?].
The reply that I was writing about is the reply from you to me that wrote,[...but if addressing part of a post or one of a number of posts, is enough to decide what to do, then I may leave it alone...].
I feel that you reply here does not , at least to me, give a determination as to the acceptability or not here for the posts in question. Your reply writes that , IMO, that you addressed one post in a number of posts, or part of a post and left either the other part or the other posts alone without comment from you. This leaves more than one, IMO, interpretation for what you did. Of the interpretations that I think has the potential to be thought by examining this statement from you is that :
A. Since you wrote that one part of the post is uncivil, that the other part is not acceptable either.
B. Since you wrote that one part is uncivil that the other part may , or may not, also be uncivil.
In relation to [...one of a number of posts...], some interpretations that IMO could have the potential for others to think are as follows.
C. Since you wrote that part of a post by this poster is uncivil, then only that part is uncivil and all the rest of the posters posts in that number of posts in that thread are acceptable
D. Since you wrote that part of a post is uncivil, then IMO I believe that there is the potential for some others to think that only that part is uncivil and posts by that poster in question outside of that thread are not a part of your writing that one part of one post in another thread is uncivil.
If you could clarify as to if other posts or parts of the same post are uncivil because you wrote that one part of a post is uncivil, then I could have a better understanding of your reply to me.
