I think that of course that's possible, and even healthy. That's how I always *try* to do it, although I'm sure I miss the mark from time to time. And I think that *has* been the point where I've disagreed with your moderation.
It's an area where, with the most rare of exceptions, a Please Rephrase is likely to be more suitable than a Please Be Civil or a block. But I think, to my eyes at least, that a Please Rephrase would do a lot to foster more supportive and respectful exchanges and soothe hurt feelings.
