Rule 10 of the
Forum Guidelines requests that messages be civil and respectful.
If I could elaborate in response to a question asked me in a recent PM, rule 10 of the
Forum Guidelines is not intended as protection against any behavior. One can't demand civil and respectful responses after saying, in effect, "Ha ha - I'm behaving stupidly and outrageously and you can't say anything - nyah nyah!" It is up to the moderators to decide whether responses to such inanity are appropriate, but I'd like to suggest that true snark is only deserved in response to truly persistent inanity.
In this case there was nothing being responded to. The recent posts seemed like forlorn attempts at instigating responses. Someone who would take such bait isn't worth debating.
