I hope I'm not going off on a tangent, Mel, but consider this scenario. Two posters disagree and one is uncivil to the other. The offending poster apologizes to the offended and the offended accepts the apology. No harm, no foul? Or must the administrator, in the name of consistency and some need to teach a lesson to others, punish the offender. Isn't the greater lesson to all that 2 people can rectify their uncivil conduct? And couldn't a wise and just facilitator facilicate such a civil reconciliation by asking the parties to kiss and make up? Call me a dreamer but I believe that adults here are capable of such things. If not, off with their heads.
