Dr. Bob,
I don't know if this belongs here or on PSB.Boy, I am sorry if I have come across as rather emotional over the recent civility topics, but it really touches on my childhood issues. I am shaking and close to tears (and I don't cry easily) as I wrote my last few posts. From bullying and taunts to the lack of acceptance of those who are "different", a lot of hot buttons have been pressed for me.
My mother taught me from before I can even remember that not only should you be civil to others, but you also step between those who are being uncivil and the people they are being uncivil to, and you protect those who aren't accepted by society. Perhaps the worst thing is the condemnation of Dr. Bob for enforcing the civility rules and the tolerance of and admiration for those who are being uncivil.
I took a couple of days off from the board, and perhaps I should take a few more until I feel less emotional about the whole thing.
