Subject: What to do when someone steps on your toe and rubs your nose in doo-doo

Why don't we just let bygones be bygones then, and start with a clean slate.

As far as I am concerned, you have served your time for any misbehaviour, and
therefore it is as if nothing bad ever issued forth.

In the future, if someone attacks you, please use the moderator form instead of
following up with harsh words.

The moderators do not read all of the posts.  In particular, I probably read
about 1/3 of them.  We only become aware of problems when someone sends us an
email form that:

0.  Has the message number of the offending post (that is the message=<nnnnn>
value you see in the header)

1.  Tells us the part they find objectionable and why (I can be incredibly thick
at times, especially if some reference is veiled.)

It's kind of like basketball.  The guy who commits the first foul almost never
gets caught.  It is when we are looking and see the second elbow fly that we
blow the whistle.

So why not point out potential problems to us.  When we receive several messages
all pointing to the same infraction, we are almost surely going to act.
