If I understand correctly, Maxime felt accused by Phillipa's babblemail.
If I were Phillipa, in reading this thread I might feel accused of everything from causing self harm to reducing site traffic to threatening another poster.
Is there a moral difference between it happening in private and it happening in public? Is the pain less or greater?
Uncivil babblemails should be forwarded, with headers, to Dr. Bob. The notification function should be used with uncivil posts. It is against site guidelines to take matters into one's own hands, so to speak.
Everyone involved in this thread, so far as I see, is a long time poster and well aware of the site guidelines.
Dr. Bob *will* be around sooner or later. If the posters on this thread feel that having their say is worth any consequences that follow, that's their decision to make. But I hope that when consequences do follow, neither Dr. Bob nor any other poster will be considered to blame.
What any other poster does is their responsibility. What each of us does in response is our *own* responsibility.
