But This is the real world. You do not have the right to expect or demand that.

To have one's words (if they are civil etc) appear as posted on our forum - has traditionally been been an expectation and not a very contentious expectation up to now. To expect such a thing to continue is hardly demanding anything that has not long been 'a given'.

The rather more contentious expectation (at least from those who seem to be subject to more than their fair share of it) is the one now where anonymous volunteer fellow posters would wish to impose their words upon their fellow posters (claiming to be for purposes of clarification only) - without their knowledge or permission.

Those who feel they will never be subject to such imposition seem to judge that it is perfectly OK when others are subject to more than their fair share of this imposition (for purposes of clarification) and somehow unreasonable for these fellow posters not to be happy about this rather unfair situation.....
