(This is my sixth post today, but I wanted to dispel this misunderstanding quickly in case anyone else shared it. I'll limit myself to four posts tomorrow.) My statement above was *sarcasm*, a reference to Barry's assertion that what he said about me was "true." I thought that would be obvious, but apparently not. <snip> > On the broader point of not addressing a persons traits, > hangups, percieved flaws, etc, but rather focus on the > content of the post, to aviod inciting flame wars: both > you and Barry have two violations today.

I'm not the "root" of the problem, Barry is (bear in mind that his current attack on me was entirely gratuitous), but I'm willing to share the rap for the sake of forcing Barry to put a cork in it. Suspension with no warning, however, I don't think is appropriate. If Rick wants to establish suspension as a penalty for future such posts, though, I'm fine with that.
