not everyone finds judging tone, or finding the right tone, in writing easy. For example.... when Rex writes in response to the claim made of Dr F 'You are a real s***', 'many of us have been saying this about Faustus in private messages for years. I'm not sure putting it on a public forum is very good form though ' it is very well judged and gets several likes exactly the same when Chewy writes, after Dr F's own response to being called the lowest of the low 'bit extreme I thought. Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Mao etc...may have first dabs on that moniker', 'I wouldn't have you as the lowest Grant but certainly in the conversation' but 'if you give Doctor F enough rope maybe he would hang himself!' is witless and properly disliked I think Can you really not tell when posters (such as Rex and Chewy) know/respect each other? Equally, can you really not tell when posters clearly do not know/respect each other? Incredibly poor from you Dido, I do know both Dr F and Rex but I have zero respect from them. Please retract this outrageous claim.

You get what (respect) you deserve in life, no?

I really don't know!

Are these suicide criticisms tongue-in-cheek? Giving someone enough rope to hang themselves is a figure of speech and obviously not meant literally. I know people get very confused with figuratively and literally but this looks like an excuse to lay the boot in.

Maybe Admin can set up a virtual safe space where anyone who has had their feelings hurt can go for a little sit down?

Generally the phrase stops half way through, no need to add the second part if the comment really is meant tongue in cheek.
