> I was hurt and somewhat confused that you gave me a please be civil rather than a please rephrase when I used a word you do not allow.
while counter-intuitive to most...
please rephrase is supposed to be more of an ask than please be civil.
because rephrasing requires some work to think up a rephrase.i thought that was odd personally. i always thought please be civil sounded harsher than please rephrase.
