I can answer that, since it is specific, and there is only one question. The thread header should be changed; it's created an opening for troublemaking based not on right and wrong but on looking to make trouble of some silly technicality that has nothing to do with right or wrong or the specific cases raised, about which the complainer knows little and has no interest in learning more. It was a specious argument, and when its speciousness was revealed, the arguments and info were not rebutted, the questions asked not answered. You have asserted that I was troublemaking. I assume, due to the negative connotations for this word, that it is meant as an aspersion. Further, you seem to be singling me out, among all the posters here, for commenting on the actions of another person, and further for commenting on them in regards to the rules here. I wasn't giving any absolute pronoucement on the behavior- I was merely pointing out it seemed to violate the rules. If it is "troublemaking" when I make comments on behavior, is it also troublemaking when you do it, or when others do it? I'm trying to figure out exactly why what I did was "troublemaking" and what you do, isn't. Or maybe you do consider your own behavior troublemaking. I don't know. I don't believe I've called you or your actions any names. I've tried very hard not to. I hope this is an adequate answer. I'll try to expound if it isn't.
