Hello Hiba,
That wasn't an official Please Be Civil, just a gentle reminder. I'm just being extra careful I suppose. And since I'm not a regular on the meds board, I wasn't sure how long you had been here, or how familiar you were with the civility guidelines.
It was based on the title coupled with a couple of sentences from your prior post.
"I definitely back Mr. Alan, he seems more rational and writes with a lot of sense. It doesn't mean you are senseless. You too have your liberty to express your findings."
"Good luck Squiggles, I am waiting for a level headed reply."
And I guess those sentences would have been fine had they said "His position makes more sense to me" rather than "He seems more rational". A subtle difference, but one refers to the ideas expressed while the other refers to the poster.
Nothing uncivil, but perhaps a bit challenging especially in light of the title to your later post? So I suppose I was just afraid that the discussion was getting more personal.
Perhaps I'm reading into it a bit more than was intended, and if so I apologize for overreacting. I want to make clear that it was not an official Please Be Civil. I just hate giving official Please Be Civils and so was trying to keep this thread from getting contentious. :)
Again, I'm sorry if I misunderstood.
Dinah
