When did those things get out of bounds?

People have invoked my family frequently. People have threatened my profession -- threatened to file a complaint with the bar association. Within the past week or so Laz and jla have both referred to my professional life.

If you can get a commitment by the other players that those things are out of bounds, with some enforcement mechanism, I will happily go along with it. But I won't tie my hands unilaterally when use those as grounds for attack.

there are, indeed, a few things that are totally out of bounds. They include carrying the insults beyond the poster to family or profession

Thank you, Karen, for that timely and needed observation. I agree 100 percent.
