[Conservative til I die]

Invincibly Ignorant has asked that you not ping him. Do not ping him or discuss him in a reply post to someone else!

Two honest questions:

1) Was this request made to you in private, or is it a public request I may have missed earlier on this thread? Because this seems to be coming from out of the blue and judging by the use of exclamation points in your message, seems to be a serious issue.

2) Does this request prohibit me from responding to anything that he posts?

I ask this in all sincerity.

A poster's request not to be pinged must be honored. It also means you cannot reply to his posts and should not use his name in your posts. And he must do the same.

But either can address issues raised by the other, indirectly, in replies to others.
