I confess (as I have said elsewere) that I used a hypothetical and a rhetorical statement to comunicate what otherwise would probably be considered uncivil. But not in this case. In Larry's reply to me he spoke about the lines of uncivility in unconventional posting styles.

I replied that I think there may be a different threshold for unconventional styles directed at individuals than those directed at Bob. That IS a hypothetical statement. I still believe this to be the case. Perseverated posting notwithstanding, it has been my observation that Bob has tolerated sarcastic statements directed at him that he would never have permited be directed at another participant.
