Merle,
It's just not polite speech.
But, moreover, it's not Kind Speech.
It's not speech between members of a sangha.
It may be better used in private, than publicly.
And it definitely is not appropriate, coming from a in-name-only supposed-
"Moderator" of an internet forum. How do I know? I used to be one (some), and
followed the rules of good sense.
Well.
No criticism, when I'm in someone else's house.
We're talking privately, you and me, now, though, right? The USA's NSA
notwithstanding?
