It's possible I missed a post on another thread, because I can't keep up with this board anymore, but I was referring to Gull's comment on this thread about the intervals being too long, which I didn't think was an attack at all, just kind of dry, and even self-deprecating. I certainly take him at his word that he didn't mean it as an attack. (post #40)
Now the Geek is a whole other story! :eek:
Sometimes I can't tell whether he is being provocative-humorous or provocative-mean or just plain stirring the pot. But he seems to me have mellowed out a lot from when I first joined. Of course I have too. And we haven't discussed transexuals lately :D
Personally I don't see private messages as a license to be any less civil than in public, just as a way to avoid taking a thread off topic or taking up board space with something that is only of interest to one person. I have found it to be a good policy not to say anything in email or private message that I wouldn't be ok with the whole world seeing. I don't think that keeping "abuse" private is a good idea in almost any context.
