We have this board because of those of you who objected to Lou's religious posts. (I'm not saying it was your suggestion; I'm saying this was Dr. Bob's solution to the complaints.) Now that we have it, and now that Lou's block has ended, he should be allowed to post. But he should also be allowed to do it in relative peace.
No matter how you slice it, there's no civil way to tell someone to watch out for another, right in front of that other. Think about it: how would you feel if someone started a conversation with you because she found you interesting, and I posted, in a place where you could see it, "Be careful talking to KK. She has made people angry and offended them."
That's something you might have done in a personal e-mail to Bookgurl.
You know, I feel like I'm always running to Lou's defense. I can't help it. I think his last block only came about because so many people were just ganging up on him.
It makes me sad when any person is treated like a leper. We have already relegated Lou's religious posts to this board. It's not fair to now turn others against him when he is following the rules.
