> I think you've stepped over the line on this call. I don't think the use of such minor hyperbole constitutes being uncivil. In deference to your concern about language, I have self-censored all of my poems on the writing page from day one. But here, I honestly think you're laying down a standard that is so ludicrous that it has a stifling effect on robust political debate.
Can we just agree to disagree? Robust political debate is fine with me as long as it's civil, but it's not part of the mission here...
Thanks for taking care not to use language that could offend others at Writing, I appreciate that.
