Yes, Frank (and Maggie),
Sarcasm is a form of aggressive speech. It's not the end of the world,
usually. But when it is repeated over and over in conversation, it piles
up and becomes an irritant. When it is used to initiate a criticism of a
neighbor who hadn't previously been picking a fight with you, it is
aggressive behavior.
In an off-list post I detailed a pattern of unprovoked complaints by
you, on any neighborhood subject under the sun. They included at least
three pointless digs at neighborhood individuals who have nothing to do
with me, or you for that matter.
I don't intend to kill your posts, Frank. If you write nasty things
about your neighbors, for no cause that I can see, I will point it out
to you in public, since that is your (and Maggie's) wish. I specifically
exclude any remarks you make about me; it's only your treatment of
others that distus me.

Yes, it was sarcastic. So? Is sarcasm not permitted on the list now?
If sarcasm is too aggressive for you, I suggest you add my posts to
your kill file because there's more to come.
