The following is addressed to everyone:
I've
asked before, but it's like asking little children to grow up and break the tiresomely repetitive and recurring cycle of "you're a big fat doody-head" name-calling and subsequent "he called me a big fat doody-head" tattle-telling.
No one is edified by any of this. Calling someone a "shill" for the eleventy-umpteenth time isn't going to accomplish anything more than doing it the umpteenth time did.
So I'm not asking again. This time, I'm telling.
Stop using the "shill" epithet (or any variation of it) against other forum members.
Anyone who indulges in such "shill baiting" will be subject to being warned and told to stop. Thereafter, any further instances of "shill baiting" by the warned poster will result in the issuance of infractions to and/or temporary bans of that poster. Offending posts (including those for which a warning is issued) will be subject to editing or deletion.
Rather than posting "shill" accusations to the open forums, those who are authentically concerned that some other poster may be a genuine "shill" (whatever that is supposed to mean) should use the report function on suspected posts to specify which particular
forum guideline(s) the alleged "shill" has violated. (And if you find yourself unable to specify any particular violations, then bite your tongue and find a way to satisfy yourself with substantively criticizing the relevant posts in the open forums
without resorting to "shill baiting".)
