> I have been confused about this whole affair as it related to my act, including what I thought were civil and carefully chosen words. ... A few years ago, it was your wish to have us work out our differences with what was tantamount to policing ourselves for infractions of civility without the immediate intervention of deputies. ... I thought I was performing in that role.
That's still my wish, but as Kath said, it can be tricky, and it's safer to use the notification button. The downside is, that doesn't help other posters avoid blocks.
Thank you for trying to help others work out their differences. I don't doubt that you chose your words carefully. Still, I consider it possible for them to have led alex to feel accused, and I ask that you not post anything that could lead others to feel accused.
But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself are in the FAQ:

Thanks, and sorry about taking so long to follow up,
Bob
