Carrying on back and forth with another poster just digs a deeper hole, and just not responding is the best strategy if you want a poster to stop doing something you don't like.
I THINK I am in good standing with everyone here, and that is my strategy for maintaining that status.
I know men generally have a genetic programming to fight when offended not retreat, buit everyone needs to control those urges and get on with the fun stuff.

Sebbie,
I agree with you up to a point. If we speak in terms of reinforcement and operant conditioning, not responding should eliminate the behavior because that behavior is not being reinforced. That being said, I still believe that verbal abuse should not and cannot be tolerated. And bullying behavior needs to be confronted for what it is.
On another subject, I believe that you must be on good terms with everyone. How could you not? You bring so much to the board and always show the utmost respect for others.
