The point is some of us don't actually care how 'sharp' or 'antagonistic' your responses are - mainly because we could take anything you throw at us, turn it around & send it back at you so hard it would make your eyes water & you'd wish you'd never touched your keyboard - believe me, Narfforc could, I could, & so could many others on this board (Lal, Bb, Boromir, Squatter, & ... I'll stop there because we know who we are )- hence if you're 'censored' its as much for your good as anyone else's.

But other's can't do that & they would be hurt by too sharp a response. Some are even bothered by comments not aimed at them, but simply because they don't want to read them, some want to 'protect' other members - whether they need protecting or not. Its complicated & not a little boring to go into - hence the tendency to divert this thread inot something a bit more entertaining...
