“Why would I send someone a message who couldn’t answer back?”
You didn’t.
That was part of the problem because you mentioned the poster, who wasn’t “pinged”-— and were needling him/her-— who would not see it unless he/she continued to read the thread.
And was of course not able to make a defense because the poster was not a member of the caucus.
Post #44 was restored so you could see what you posted.
You should see that it doesn’t adhere to the caucus designation rules.
If you wish to leave it on the thread, please notify me so we can remove the caucus label and the restore the posts deemed unacceptable as it will then be an open thread.
Thanks for your patience.
