"I have a very good idea of where the line is, at least when the line isn't moving, and I do skip along that line from time to time. It might appear that I am getting away with something, but what would I be "getting away with" if my post is indeed within the civility rules?"
Just because you got away with it does not mean it was right. You above all people KNOW sarcasm is a warnable offense. Can I be sarcastic without recourse? How could I complain while I was banned? I tried. Also, you only wrote that because of the other thread, right? So, you were doing what you were chastising me for doing, really no different in my book. You were just getting me back if you really think about it.
About my private email, it doesn't really matter because if people want to be uncivil they can have at it.
I would like a board where we could discuss things without being watched. Basically, a person could say what they want and if we had the ability to turn off a poster then one could do that but still feel they could be open without fear. But, Dr. Bob would have to give up some of that control which I doubt he could do.
