Dear Kamala,

It is unfortunate that Periamma had to face such humiliation. Kamala, it is shocking to know that you had experienced intimidation on your snippet's title and a famous scientist's quote referred by you.

You have been a great contributor and many of us learn so much from your writings. Don't let this intimidation deter you from writing here. As I said, it is not a contest and feel free to express as you like. In fact, IL is a place for socializing with people who we never met with ease. If it makes someone like you feel tense to write here, we need to address such situation right away. In my view, such uncivilized comments should be moderated. Please feel free to report comments that intimidates you and if it is in E P & G, the concerned moderator will address it and respond to you about their action.

When I say this, I am wondering how many such intimidating responses I had reported in the past. The answer is virtually none. We all have the habit of giving the benefit of doubt to those who write such comments and it is our leniency that actually encourages such uncivilized comments. Freedom of expression and disagreements are part of civilized community as long as they are expressed respectfully and not deterring someone to writer here in IL.
