> How is the word unkind uncivi?
I think the idea was that Ed was, by using that word to describe a post, characterizing someone's message as unkind, and, by extention, characterizing the person who posted it as unking, as well.
That's where Civility rules can get a little dicey -- when you say that something "is unkind," you run the risk of it being interpreted as the person who wrote it being unkind. That's where I statements come in. Although I don't have a suggestion right now for what that would look like.
Hope that helps.
