How can we have one set of civility rules for one set of people, and another for another set of people?????????
In my mind, it is much more uncivil to curse your mother than it is a politician - the opposite is true here, which is just plain crazy.
Really, doesn't that just send alot of mixed messages to everyone?
Can't we have a blanket civility rule whereby we have to be polite to everyone?
Wouldn't this then be much clearer to everyone, clearer for those who police these boards, clearer for us posters?
And, people from this board are far from anonymous. Tensor, for instance, lives quite close to me. Suppose we go to the same hospital, and see the same psychiatric team. He hates them and doesn't feel afraid to say it here on babble in an uncivil way. I love them and feel hurt when he does that......
I really think that we should try to be civil to all groups of people at all times!
