I'm sure that Canadians have even more that they could teach me.

I could argue that DragonFly's thread was not about retaliation, there was plenty of that in the original thread.

It was rather a discussion potentially about the boundaries of personal abuse that are tolerable on this site. If we have that discussion, then names will be named as they are in the sticky PM thread in the women's section.

I thought the guy was going to calm down, but then he just seemed to lose it completely. Then he came back and started again (twice), so two definite violations.

I am absolutely not having a go at the Mods, but I think we should have the freedom of speech to express our views on other people's unacceptable behaviour. The case in point was clearly unacceptable.

If his case is Sub Judice, then so be it, but when the Mods have decided what they wish to do, then I believe we should be allowed to discuss it.

Finally, as in the freedom of the Press, I think it is in the Community's interest to have this type of abuse brought to the widest audience's attention.
