Maybe you should swallow a dose of the medicine you prescribe.

Excuse me, Ed, I cut out most of your superflous BS in the interest of space. To question anyone's motivation is not a problem, and I've never suggested it was. It's when you decide to include your own speculation as answers to your questions, that gets close to and over the line.
Asking a question is not usually a problem. It becomes a problem when you start thinking you can demand answers and everyone else is required to respond to thos demands. When, how and why to respond to any question is entirely up to the person being questioned. Someone may choose to decline to answer a question, because they might think it stupid, leading, not like the tone in which it was asked or otherwise not worthy of answering, which doesn't give the questioner license to substitute whatever answer they might imagine as being possible or presuming what the answers should be.
I'm glad you recognize there is a line drawn at "defame". Although it's not a straight line, the input I found objectionable were the comments that fell clearly over any reasonably placed line.
I assure you Ed, I've swallowed gallons of the medicine I've prescribed and have found it often distasteful and sometimes hard to swallow, but it's ususally proven to be very beneficial. Unfortunately, the malady is never totally cured, it's more a condition you hope just continually keeps getting better and doesn't repeat itself.
