Hollow point and The Count : your exchange of having been reported and received your lines to write out before COP Friday highlights my poiints here : if the person to whom comments are being directed doesn't mind/complain, why should someone else step inand press the big, red 'penalty' button ?

So we have to protect the sun-factor 50s by priority - ie preserve decorum 'cos some are more easily upset than others ?
how it's interpretated is down to he who interprates ie the reader and more specifically, he (or she) to whom the reply is directed !
Deliberate provocation aside, there has been since the beginning a reporting button on the top rh side - if he (or she) who is offended reports a post - it should be looked at BUT.....and this is a BIG BUT, let the offended person report what offends them and not others 'defending' someone else in the assumption that they need defending !
I agree that writers have an obligation BUT I'm still scared by over-moderation - it nearly killed off this forum a few years ago.
Be very careful please moderators of your PERSONAL interpretation of any thread feeling.....some of the most entertaining and enlightening threads here have boiled up - let them simmer down again as people let off steam and see sense.
No big hammers just a clear up of the rules, guidelines and penalties.
