> Yes, but if I were hosting a party for people with mental illnesses I would certainly expect to have to be flexible, within reason. Of course the guests are struggling too and may be particularly sensitive...That's what I'm saying. At Psycho Babble, we all have (or had) a psychological disorder. But should one kind of disorder trump another? Should any disorder make the sufferer exempt from being civil, or another disorder rob a person of trying to protect themselves?
> ... In this case, the topic has come up before, Dr. Bob has placed limits on consecutive threads as a compromise...I am sorry he had to do that. But if we agree that a behavior is uncivil, and existing rules are not protecting members from uncivil conduct, what then?
> ... and that's why I'm in favor of an *ignore* button, (different things get to us all, and ignoring posts is sometimes easier said than done)...Yes, an ignore button would be a good solution.
> ... It doesn't mean however, that I think I have a right to have them "dealt with" because they bother me personally.If this problem has come up before, and continues to come up regularly, then is it possible that others have taken it personally? How many have to be hurt or offended before we have a right to deal with it? But the one question I'm really trying to get an answer to in this thread is, is the sort of behavior we're discussing civil?
