Hello Dinah,
I must apologise, I think my post was alittle aggressive...I had to "get it out" some how written on the boards how I felt about the block - sorry that it was to your post..
>But then I was reading the exchange in context of knowing that Lar was favorably disposed to Deneb and concluding that he was unlikely to wish to be uncivil or hurtful to her. In fact, I have a tendency to keep context in mind a lot when reading posts. Prior history between two people, a person's characteristic style of expression and the possibility for misunderstanding, that sort of thing. Perhaps it's better for the community that Dr. Bob judges a post strictly on its content. Because keeping context in mind can obscure sudden changes in context. Not that I'm saying there was a sudden change in context this time. But it does happen.
That makes complete sense to me, I fully understand what you're saying..
Its intersting how sometimes negative situations on here do then turn out to be better somehow along the lines. Its a shame that they happen in the first place, but then if something good arises that was not in place before - I guess its like every cloud has a silver lining so to speak...hopefully that will be the outcome of this :-)
Warm regards
Nick
