-If Stevers and Rob are hounding you by making snide remarks to you regardless of topic you happen to post in multiple threads, I'll give them a timeout.
-If they are just defending their opinions or opposing yours in the thread the said post was made, as a direct response to that post, it is okay. You don't get to choose who responds to your posts.

-So no carrying grudges over topics.

P.S.

I'm not aware of the context here.
