>So are you saying that when someone posts something uncivil that they didn't know what they were saying? I could see this if we weren't adults.
I know it is your site, but I was wondering if I posted something REALLY uncivil, would you want that to be a part of your site? (not that I am intend to do that)
Maybe just maybe if uncivil posts were subject to be deleted, some individuals might not post them. But if you know you can in a sense be offensive and uncivil without anything happening, you can do the damage and only take a small hand slaping of a block for a awhile. I guess I am more about prevention than doing something about it after the fact. Just a thought, nothing personal Dr. Bob. Unless it is like TV, you get more ratings when things get heated. Just kidding. LOL
