I usually find it helpful to do some breathing exercises or go for a walk before I respond to posts that make me angry.Zyprexa numbtongue makes sweeping generalizations about pdocs PLUS millions of citizens in two different regions of the country -- complete with a nasty stereotype-driven putdown of Southerners. And Jay60 is the one who gets admonished for pointing this out?? Yes, his word selection could have been more delicate but there's no question who was showing less civility overall, as defined by the tenets of the FAQ, and it sure wasn't Jay. Many of Z's comments were presented in a decidedly inflammatory, non-constructive manner. Giving Jay60 an admonition without giving one to Z hardly seems in synch with the concept of personal respect, unless it's only posters to this board who are deemed worthy of that respect.
