In some areas I see a difference. Although it might depend on interpretation. For example, the three post rule. I doubt that there is a three statement IRL rule. However, I suppose if you see the three post rule (as Dr. Bob apparently does) as the equivilant of the IRL life rule about monopolizing conversations, there would be a parallel.
I generally refer to civility guidelines, or rules of this site, as a civility choice.
Which means that my opinion is that while individual rulings might be site idiosyncratic, the civility rules in general are based on civility as defined by the broader societal definitions.
As in "Choosing Civility".
I must now concentrate on my work.
