Thread Name: BS: Dealing with Flamers and Trolls
Subject: RE: BS: Dealing with Flamers and Trolls
Absolutely. The line has been crossed. I wouldn't want to be misunderstood in that regard. I just don't want to see the measures necessary to deal with the truly vile being construed to apply to me (again).

I understand that I'm here by the owner's good graces. I have no basis of ownership or membership upon which to make my appeal, so I make it on the basis of an appeal for fairness.

Mostly though, this thread is reminding me (as it should -- a good thing) that if this stuff matters too much to me, it is probably because my own participation here has tipped away from what I enjoy -- creative writing and music -- and toward passions of belief that I really don't NEED to be sharing. I which case, my bad.
