No, I didn't know what you meant. A "me too" post is quite different from the kind of thing Lawson posts. And I can't recall anytime he's made a two- or three- word comment; you're exaggerating. Nor does he respond to "every" post. His comments are usually succinct--is that a *flaw*, in your view?--and often quite trenchant, if you actually read and consider them. Perhaps you assume that because they're short, they couldn't possibly be substantive? And he never snips, > despite having been asked to do so many times. That isn't true either. He's been doing a lot of snipping recently. There are others here who *never* do it and are never reproved for it. > And with regard to "personal attacks," how would > you deal with posts like Barry's, in which he > attacks people without naming them?

I'm talking about Barry's "There are some here who..." posts, or his posts attacking TM supporters generally. > I'm just reticent to play the role of policeman. I'd be willing to bet a considerable sum that if you cracked down on Barry--and to a lesser extent on Vaj (because he doesn't make as many posts)--you'd find the atmosphere here taking a very distinct turn for the better. Alex Stanley--one of the more objective posters here-- observed awhile back, after Barry had returned from an extended absence, that while he had been away, things had been significantly more mellow. A substantial portion of the ugliness on this forum is generated by Barry's attacks, because not only are they vicious, they're typically dishonest and unfair, and his targets are unwilling to take being slandered lying down.
