just to take this thread as far off as it can go-- a little input into the mind, by a male--
wwh you weren't a neurosurgeon, where you? you're not thinking about trepanation?
in which case, maybe i should [cross that out--i don't want anything to do with trepanation] maybe this thread should move down to "untested alternative medicines". I have heard home trepanations have become a new trend in alternative medicine.

..and to take it even further off course, i got these (among others, which were less funny) in my email inbox today (and please, no suggestions that i should choose my correspondants more carefully): Q. Why do doctors slap babies' butts right after they're born?A. To knock the penises off the smart ones.
and:
Q. Why do men name their penises?
A. Because they don't like the idea of having a stranger make 90% of their decisions.
these, of course, do not apply to the men of this hallowed forum 
oh, and BTW, this is NOT an invitation to begin a thread in the vein of 'pet names'

It's a cruel world. If you don't cry the minute you are born, your butt gets whacked till you do.
But it doesn't have to be hard enough to change gender.

wow>I have found, in perusing the Posts, that simply not commenting on a Post causes the Poster(s) to re-think the way they are posting.
It has happened to me a couple of times following a post that held no interest to the Board and I have ceased and the thread has changed. I have taken no offense, rather have just plodded along cheerfully.
Some successes, some failures.
That's life on the Board!
This, I think is the most proper response to the problem at hand. As you said it will make people re-think their postings if they are inclined to. Harsher punishments like "public flogging" may just alienate some people and will stop the debate and consequently stop the process of enlightenment.

OTOH, I frequently scream with laughter, or silently agree with an opinion, without necessarily posting or PMing in reply. Silence, in other words, can't always be taken as withering condemnation!

Ignoring somebody is the ultimate insult. There are many posts that may call for special knowledge few of us may have, but I suspect that most of us would rather have a scolding than just be ignored.
