> So are you saying that when someone posts something uncivil that they didn't know what they were saying?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
> 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?
No, I'd prefer for that not to be here.
> Maybe just maybe if uncivil posts were subject to be deleted, some individuals might not post them.
Maybe...
> 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.
Yes -- for a while.
> I guess I am more about prevention than doing something about it after the fact.
Prevention would be ideal, but deleting posts after the fact isn't prevention, either...
