I have scrolled through this whole thread, and except for about 4 posts,there was very little evidence saying what the actual bullying was.?
I think Alex, that I was one of the bullies you referred to,because I questioned something you wrote which did not seem right to me.?
I did PM you about it but you either did not see my PM or chose to ignore it as I never received any reply, yet you said people should try to sort things by personal message.?
Just because one can write something on a post or thread, does not mean that what you write should not be open to scrutiny or question.
I am not afraid to have anyone question what I write and am quite open to being shown that I am wrong.
Abuse via invective's is another thing altogether.
One persons bullying is another persons robust discussion.
I am sure there are many astronomy sites on the internet that are way more aggressive than iceinspace.
This bringing up of this thread every so often just adds to the unpleasantness,but in the long run adds nothing to the forum in general.
I am no more thick skinned than any other person but can just switch off from the perceived wrong doer or give them back as much as they do to me,then just block them.
Cheers
