OK, **Giraffe** , now that I get what you’re saying, I’ll bring it up with the mods.

I’d take **Una** ’s post above (#3 in this thread) to be a case in point. The first paragraph is sort of border-line, since it’s personal insults directed at a group of un-named posters.So, in the grey-fuzzy area, but on the OK side of the line. The second paragraph, however, is pretty clearly directed at one individual – not named, but clearly identified. I think that’s in the grey-fuzzy area but on the wrong side of the line.

**Una** , it is grey-fuzzy, so I’m not going to formally warn, but I am going to suggest (firmly) that such things belong in the Pit and not here.
