I feel a blanket ban would be the best way forward to help prevent future misunderstandings, and misreadings of posts. The internet is a potentialy 'blunt' form of communication, since inflection and context can be difficult to determine.

I vote for a total ban on discussing the person and her methods.

If you agree please post here....i will set up another post for the alternate view

Definition of derogatory :adjective
1 : detracting from the character or standing of something -- often used with to, of, or from
2 : expressive of a low opinion : DISPARAGING

If you take mb's example - if the post is believed to be sarcastic it would fit the 2nd definition, thereby annoying a certain person.

I interpreted as derogatory comments aout her rather than her methods

Jessajam · 25/05/2006 19:33

but saying she doesn't know what she is talking about is about her...
