OK, so I have a thing about civility.

For me, the idea with civility is that I don't post anything that I wouldn't say to someone face to face. I have a difficult time restraining myself with what I often read on the Politics board - mostly because if I was with people who said these things out loud, I'd be highly offended, and probably leave the room.

That's why I don't even bother with the board. It's not that the threads are triggering or necessarily a personal affront. It's how the opinions are written - sometimes in an infammatory way. Maybe people feel so strongly that they feel the need to speak in absolutes, but that can be such a dangerous thing. PBCs are issued, and blocks are issued, and I would have thought that these actions would reinforce the civility guidelines.

Please, please - think about how we phrase our thoughts on the Politics board. Do we really feel so strongly about issues that we're willing to express them with such disregard for others' own opinions?
