Yes, Dr. Bob has been away from the boards for a while, and things tend to escalate, even with deputies present. But until he comes back, I'm going to have to ask everyone to review their posts for compliance with the civility guidelines.
I understand emotions are running high, but please remember that two wrongs don't make a right, that if you perceive something to be uncivil, you can report it by email or Babblemail to the deputies or Dr. Bob, answer civilly yourself, or answer with compassion and kindness above and beyond the call of duty.
And if deputies don't flag something that you think should be flagged, please have patience and wait for Dr. Bob. Sometimes deputies might individually or collectively read things differently than Dr. Bob might. It is undoable. Dr. Bob has the final authority.
The FAQ has several suggestions on what to do when you feel angry.
