    After reading many of your posts much of this is self inflicted.
    >

    Admittedly, I sometimes do provoke, and I may deserve the result. I can understand, even expect, those; but, that is not my topic here.

    ’’GRATUITOUS’’

    Inappropriate, uncalled-for, undeserved, out-of-context, etc. !

    I'm guessing the OP is unwise to make a public matter of his thin skin, and may not like the outcome.
    >
    I enjoy back and forth with you; b/c you are knowledgeable, reasonable, and civil.

    Sometimes we both go-on for too long; but that’s expected.

    One of your most redeeming qualities is that you know lots of interesting things which I don’t know, but find very interesting.

    So, I value your commentaries.

    Perhaps the COVID debacle has left us all a bit scarred.

    Is gratuitousness like pornography? That is, are we talking subjective or objective criteria to determine gratuitousness?

    I’ll wait for an OFFICIAL’ reply.
    If you want an official reply, PM me and I can help with that. However, my first impression is that MTA has it right with:

    Think you might be taking a comment made in jest a little too personal

    I know the mod in question. Hes a stand up guy and isnt mean spirited in anyway

    <>

    Not directly related to topic, intentionally offensive, and totally unprovoked.

    From a member, we can reply in kind or ‘’ignore’’; but a « Mod » has several unfair advantages.

    Of course, I may have different opinions and experiences; isn’t that the POINT of these fora (forums); to discuss, debate, etc. ?

    Who wants to deal in unprovoked unpleasantness ?

    I hope that I’ve never been rude here WITHOUT provocation. Disagreement is not being rude. Nor is pointing out errors of fact or hypocrisy.

    I have seen this before, and the sites eventually collapsed. I hope this one can endure.

    I have yet to see any of our moderators display the behavior you have observed.
    I also realize moderators could post something that’s a violation of our code of conduct. If that were to happen, hit the report button.
