The proper way to post in nearly any board like this IS to the Topic and not to the person.

It takes more time to reply that way though...but that's not such a bad thing either imo.

It means using more "I" statements and not "you" retorts... It means looking at the subject matter, the topic itself and then, to keep the thread going when a post that provokes a reply, rephrasing that thought into a statement that counters or supports it...

I think it would be wonderful to fully block another lock, stock, and barrel but I don't think it's possible on this format, nor on even newer formats, from what I see.
