I understand that if you are requested not to post to someone then you aren't supposed to direct a reply / response to them in the subject header. Or to address the content of the post to them.
But that it may be okay to respond to other posters on a thread that they started (is that right?) or reply to other posters on threads that they have gotten involved with. How about posting general comments that are not to anyone in particular?
I am wondering whether you are allowed to comment on the actions of someone who has requested that you not post to them. Or whether you are allowed to comment on topics they have raised for the possible benefit of other posters.
Or if it just would be better not to...
What I am concerned about is that a 'do not post to me' request can be an effective way to silence someone on any given topic regardless of whether they have breeched civility guidelines or not.
Is it better to just leave it be...
And not think of it as a way of silencing you...
Or is it okay to continue posting general remarks anyway???
