I always thought the civility rules were designed to protect the people here at babble from insult.
For instance, if one posted something negative about George Bush, then it is likely that some Bush supporters here at Babble would be insulted.
However, if someone posted something negative about their therapist, it is unlikely that anyone here at Babble would feel offended since it is unlikely that anyone here supports or even knows the therapist.
I always thought I could say something nasty about my mom (who isn't a poster here), but I couldn't say something nasty about someone who posts here.
Maybe I am wrong in interpreting the rules that way, but that's how I understand them.
