In an earlier version of the FAQ, Robert Hsiung encouraged posting such links for more information as an alternative to suggesting that anyone was thus described.
That part of the FAQ seems to have been deleted, though I don't know if it was deleted in the past 15 minutes, the past day, the past month or the past year. Nonetheless, I can presume that if referring people to more information about civil behavior was civil yesterday, it is still civil today.
It is unfortunate for me and for those who read my contributions that I am inclined to write convoluted, stilted and vague prose in an effort to avoid administrative sanction, when others are allowed to declare entire groups of people "creepy."
