I suppose it IS one sided to desire posters on one's thread who have a few facts (relevant ones) at their disposal. There are plenty of threads where there are no such requirements, though.

I'm not sure why you stick around posting what look like complaints, innuendos, and personal comments about me. There are plenty of threads on SI where you can insult political figures and moderators all you want and no one will ask you for support for your positions, or question the relevancy of what you post. This will not be one of those threads.

You have managed to get personal. On this thread, unlike other threads you may have seen on SI, you won't call the moderator names. And please don't try to tell me I AM your sweetheart. I really don't think you get what this thread is about. Do you call people you obviously don't agree with, and don't know, "sweetheart" in real life? Did you imagine that was polite? If so, your ideas of socical norms are a bit different from what I had in mind when I created this thread- so you will need to adjust your expectations. I don't know why you wish to flirt with being banned, but cut the personal garbage.

Look up civility in the dictionary. I expect you to act here with the sorts of social norms adults use in a PTA gathering- where you aren't actually trying to antagonize other people. Obviously "facts" will sometimes enrage people- but that can't be helped, not even in 3d. But the personal stuff can be helped. So stop it.

"Ahhhh, you are *such* a sweetheart. I know you want to keep order in the classroom. What a kind, and considerate thing to do "
