Agreed that it is a disease.

I'm trying to serve as a voice of reason (as I understand it) here in
us.* but this is one of those tricky things (especially when
guidelines and assumptions appear not to be working).

Henrietta is more oriented towards persuasion and reasoning with
people than may be apparent, actually.  She just tends to get off on
the wrong foot with people when she is trying to clean up a us.*
newsgroup (or whatever the right term is for her current attitude
towards us.politics, and her attitude towards us.legal a few weeks or
months back).
