    It's all CYA........ I'll consider changing the language (to make everyone happy) when I get some time, but it essentially means what Kevin said.

    "Physical, written, and verbal threats made against forum members, either within or outside the context of the forum, is prohibited and could result in a permanent ban from the forum(s)."

    To tell you the truth, it was written and posted several years ago, and just adopted over here. I didn't even consider that people would get bent about it. I'll put it on the list of things to "to do", and we'll change it to reflect that language.

    I agree with almost all of hat you said. But it has occurred in the past, and upon legal advice, it's in their. Perhaps not in the best language, but it is in there to stay. You are right, you can't really cover yourself, but you must try. The internet is tricky business like that.

        I beleive the language changes have been made to all the applicable styles. Hopefully, it's palatable to most everyone.

                  The sentiment expressed in the first quote is indicative of how great things can be on the forum. Respecting others in spite of disagreements is the kind of atmosphere that encourages the exchange of information and ideas.

                  The second quote although stated in the context of discussing the forum rules was a bit of a downer.

                  It can’t be denied that both guys have consistently presented excellent points of view, but to my way of thinking, the quote from the first guy was more enlightened.

                    And the quote fron the second guy was meant to be taken in good humor.

                    But then again, I respect idiots as well.

                      Internet posts often convey different meanings to different people. Something written on the forum intended to be humorous may be perceived very differently by someone else reading it.
                      As always, thanks you for your point of view.

                      Reminds me of Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train”. Similar theme.

                        I've actually been told by lawyers and that I should be a judge and even considered running for town justice!
