I hope you don't take offense, but since you're relatively new here, you might not know some of the courtesies that are expected from fellow Freepers.

First off, we don't bring up posts on other threads to accuse other posters.

Second, if you discuss a poster in your post, it is recommended that you put the poster in question in the To: box so he'll have the opportunity to respond.

To do otherwise is considered bad form.

Actually CTM was asked for evidence to support her statements about obb BY obb in post 195. Her providing them is not the same as thread hopping to accuse other posters. He asked for evidence about himself and she provided it. I don't see that that breaches any FR courtesy rules. JR has provided posting guidelines and she certainly did not break any of those and the rest is just courtesy that has been established as the site has gone along.

What she provided was not much different than directing some one to the posting history of a particular FReeper, which is there for all to see but since he asked for specifics, there's nothing wrong with her providing them. As a matter of fact, I've seen FReepers shredded recently for NOT providing posts to back up their statements with the not so subtle insinuations that the person is making them up and lying. Here's the dilemma: if she doesn't provide them, she leaves herself open to accusations of lying and slander; if she does, she's chastised for providing the information asked for.

So what's she to do?
