In reply to A civility question...., posted by Meri-Tuuli on February 14, 2007, at 3:35:31

Hi Meri. It's a recent change of rules, but you're supposed to use the "Notify the Administrators" option (below the "Reply to this Post" section when you open any given post) rather than bring up a particular post for a civility determination on Admin. I believe Dr. Bob felt that this was less likely to lead other posters to feel accused or put down.

It's still ok to ask general questions here, like "Is it ok to be uncivil to other people in our personal lives."

A general answer, however, is that posters on this board fall under the protection of the civility rules, but significant others in a poster's life do not. So it's ok to be uncivil when speaking of a relative or therapist or friend or employer in a way it wouldn't be civil if speaking of another poster. It's probably better not to use their real name, I'm guessing.

Dinah, responding as deputy to Dr. Bob
