Actually chichi I think they should. Calling one names be it rude or bully or a liar is rarely effective, if your true desire is to help the poster. And those terms are rarely used against the OP's original post. But they are often used against the responders, which does the OP not one whit of good, given the postings of th responders are already done.
Bullying here takes many forms, as it does in any other on-line forum, or in real life. It can be very subtle or very blatant.
IMO when we have huge shall I say side bars that have nothing to do with the OP's question that gives a very sour flavour to our board.
