Most folks probably don't know when they are in the process of hoisting their own petard. Can you be the forum petard cop?

Tim, would you recommend the elimination of such personal insults and accusations as accusing others of "making things up" and "lying?"

...when used to describe personal insults and accusations? Is the real question.

No, Chris, I asked the "real" question I would line Tim to answer. I have a feeling that all of us signing onto such an agreement would go far in accomplishing just hat Tim desires.

Let me know when you guys have this all figured out. lol. In the meantime, I'll go on ignoring the sideline BS and posting my input on the subject matter in the threads.

To me context makes a difference.

Were someone to answer a question and be told he's making things up I'd agree that's insulting. It's not commenting on what's posted but the poster.

OTOH, when someone insults, especially when the insulted has no way of knowing and backing up his insult, and is told the insult is made up, it's not an insult. It's commenting on what's posted and not the poster.

You can only insult posters. You can't insult a post.

Probably the best, given that's what both Tim and Mike seem to have said already.

Anything said in disagreement with you is made up, a lie or an insult. Suck it up man.You get what you ask for. We don't have to agree with you even when steeped in mumbo jumbo.

Not true. I only point out insults as made up. Like this one of yours.
