In reply to Lou's views about the {3} rules, posted by Lou Pilder on August 13, 2006, at 10:36:17
Lou, I won't claim that I could follow your entire post, so I won't try to answer the entire post. I will just point out that the new rule requiring complaints, objections, and "requests for determination" to be emailed rather than posted publicly was put in place to foster a safe and supportive environment here for ALL posters -- which actually does include you, even if you aren't seeing that right now.
In the past, some posters have felt very hurt when their posts were publicly held out as unacceptable. The email rule prevents this from happening again.
Similarly, in the past, some posters who posted many objections to other people's posts triggered some less than supportive responses from other posters. The email rule prevents this from happening, since those complaints/objections/"requests for determination"/etc will not be displayed publicly.
Also, have you considered that others' reactions to your posts might be based on your own behavior, and not related to your ethnic/religious background? Just a thought...
Lastly, on a personal note, based on our history, Lou, I don't plan to debate this with you. My feelings have been hurt in the past by your posts, and my choice for protecting myself in future is to disengage.
