And I don't need your [ET Moderation TechnologyTM] .  You've already gotten me kicked off the FP.  Not enough of a power trip for you, afew?  

Groundless accusation & personal attack.

I always see red when this happens. Deserves a zero in my book.

Ratings below 1 lead to hidden comments. Certainly it wasn't offensive enough to the rest of the planet to warrant hiding?

you underestimate how severely I feel about personal assaults. We can discuss this rationally. I rate empathically.

Fair enough.

Still, in order to decide whether the attack was groundless we'd have to ask poemless and afew to air whatever dirty laundry poemless claims they have but afew denies and I'm not interested in that, are you?

Which probably means that, since the laundry can't be aired, it was unwise for poemless to make the accusation in public in the first place.
