> What's uncivil with mindevolution's post?Sometimes it is more suitable to use I-statements to express an opinion. From the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#help-enforce
"It's fine to give others feedback as long as it's constructive. It tends to be more constructive if you put things in terms of what the other person might do better rather than what they did "wrong". And it tends to be more conducive to harmony to talk about how you feel than what someone else did, for example, to use an I-statement like "I feel put down by what you said" instead of a you-statement like "you're so arrogant". But don't just word the latter as the former, as in "I feel Dr. Bob has gone overboard". :-)"
