> Using I statements is something you insist on, the public does not, in fact most people don't have any idea of what you are talking about. ... Using I statements rarely change the meaning of what one is writing.( most know what the poster wanted to say) ... I believe the blocks for using I statements are over reactive, nit picky and really don't help the communtiy as a whole.

If this rule is the norm in cyber world, please show me other message boards that have this rule.I don't think it's the norm, this board may be unique! Some things can take a long time to understand. Thanks for sticking around and working on it.
If you don't say something, someone may appreciate it even if they know what you wanted to say. They might even appreciate it more. Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but I do believe being careful about how we express ourselves helps the community as a whole.
