> My statement wasn't an either/or. I won't repeat it all, for fear of getting blocked again, but I will quote its form: "That brings us to AT LEAST TWO possibilities. One is... The other is..."You're right, this statement only suggests two of possibly others. > As for how to handle discussing a behavior that only one person is known to exhibit, I think if no-one has ever brought it up for discussion before, it would be nice to email the doctor or poster privately, but if the behavior has been brought up repeatedly by others -- well, it seems like it's out there: ...
Although since it has been brought up before, and the behavior has not been deemed to fall outside the civility guidelines, I think the answer to your question was evident before the posts (if I understood your question correctly). Of course Dr. Bob is free to change his mind. But I thought this issue had been settled previously. I could be wrong, though. I haven't checked for a post saying so, and my memory has been known to fail me.
Thanks for correcting my assumption regarding your statement about possible intentions.
