Subject: RE: BS: Guest Postings
I don't believe it would be good to punish all of them because of a very small number of obnoxious posters. We have GUESTS who're civil, even kind, we have people who don't want to be the subject of rumor, or who they are to be more important than what they say, those who feel they're being stalked, as well as folks just dropping in to ask or answer a question.

Jerry, that's the impression I get regarding accusatory posts, GUEST or otherwise. They point fingers at others because it's less frightening than looking in a mirror. The self-righteous attitude assures people focus, not on what they say but how they say it. The stated subject is simply an excuse, never intended to be taken seriously.
