It is very difficult to "restrict" anyone from posting, but I feel that if any perpetrator of "personal abuse" postings has the basis of their questionable "abuse/dogma/incorrect information" postings responded to in a manner that shows - without doubt, to all (particularly the perpetrator of the abuse) - that the "abuse/dogma/incorrect information is total rubbish, then they tend to "skulk" away when they start to appear ridiculous even to themselves. It would appear that COULD be the case on this particular post right now (maybe?). A difference of opinion is one thing, unjustified abuse is a totally different animal, and, if that “abuse is unfounded and not based on any fact at all, it is completely “unjustified” and should be seen, and treated as “worthless”.
Perhaps I am putting my neck on the chopping block here but if I ever post “abusively” (as opposed to “heatedly”) on these forums, I would hope that someone would politely point it out to me so that I could reconsider and retract, with apologies. (Please, don’t everyone rush to ask me for apologies for past postings)
