thanks thread nanny, but he posted it, not me. People who grow up in abusive homes recognize the potential when we see it

It doesn't matter who started it. Making the thread "about" an individual poster is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

[Running On Empty]

I have never made it a habit to be a hall monitor on this forum.

Nor do I run to the moderator.

If you want to call me names, I don’t mind. But I do mind every time one of these “discussions” turns into personal analysis, evaluation and commentary about another poster.

I also recognize the obvious convenience of forum anonymity.
Some things that are posted here would be very inappropriate, insulting, and frankly unChristian if we were speaking to one another face-to-face.
