text: I fear we are losing what the definition of "civil" is.  What began as a discussion of endangered plovers and other idears, as all too often happens, has turned to a discussion of personal vendettas, none of which seem founded on any actual justification, and...sigh...more harassment, bullying, and baseless bragging.  I fear too many of today's "christians" have been taken in by today's societal norms of constant self-promotion.  And the paranoia about being stalked, if serious, borders on pathological and suggests one needs help.  There is no way for a poster to track another on this board.  Really.  Quite disturbing, one cannot help but speculate that the self centering of the personality that produces constant brag also produces a level of paranoid conviction that one is the focus of enemies.  Perhaps suspension was beneficial, as you seemed to leave off the nasty attacks and bullying when you returned, but it appears the time out from posting did not result in lasting improvement.
