I'm sorry but I just can't stay civil to someone who...
I'm just as sorry as you are, but EO will not provide a platform for members to be uncivil to other members, regardless of how the uncivil tries to defend or rationalize it. Those who are unable to control their emotions tend to lose your ability to post in the Soapbox or even the entire site. Put bluntly, you've been given more slack than you should have been given solely because you are a Charter Member of this site. But that kind of latitude can only go so far after many hints both subtle and not so subtle, and now defiantly refusing to be civil.
From the Code of Conduct:
17. The Soapbox Forum
The Soapbox contains topics which engender strong opinions and passions, therefore the Code of Conduct rules are often less rigidly enforced, so as to allow a more free and relaxed discussion. However, insults directly or indirectly towards individuals or entire groups (religious, political or otherwise) will not be tolerated. Responses must be on-topic and not directed at the individual (respond to the post, not the poster). You will not be permitted to post messages in The Soapbox Forum until you have at least 25 posts of consequence in other forums. The Soapbox Forum is a forum for expediters to express their opinions to other expediters. If you are not an expediter, you may still participate, but only with the understanding that the Code of Conduct will be more strictly enforced so as to prevent disruptions within the forums.
If you keep it up you leave me very little choice.
