See the thing is that my third post wasn't an attack. To say that it 'resembles' an attack isn't any better (or never has been on Babble) than saying that someone posted something that was attacking.
It never has been civil to say that a post is attacking.
Whether posts are attacking or not is for Bob and the deputies to decide - not for you to decide.
If you decide that something is I suppose you can use the 'report this post feature' but you aren't supposed to say that it is attacking.
How come? WHy, because that would be jumping to conclusions.
What is particularly hurtful to me about this is that I didn't intend for my post to be attacking - I intended it to be a report of my experience here similarly to how Greywolf's initial post here was a report of theirs. When I say to the best of my ability that I really didn't intend for it to be attacking you disregard what I say thinking that what? You know my intention better than I do myself?
What am I supposed to be apologizing for Scott? The fact that you interpret my post to be an attack even though I certainly didn't intend for that and others seem capable of reading it charitably such that it isn't an attack?
How is your saying that my post is an attack not an attack in itself?
I worried about my post with respect to Greywolf. Not to you. Trust me, the world doesn't need more heroes looking out for the welfare of others (making things worse in the process).
Once upon a time (when I trusted Bob's judgement) I'd have been happy enough with people deciding to use the 'report this post' feature. Now I'm much happier if things can be sorted out on board. What more can I do but clarify my intention? I do feel some responsibility to clarify my intention with Greywolf - but really... How is that any of your business? You are responsible for you. Or... Not. We shall see...
