Since you've been warned recently, and also given a demonstration of a rephrase using "I" statements on this board, I am going to block you from posting for one week.
Simply placing the words "I feel" in front of statements that go on to negatively characterize posts or posters, or could lead them to feel accused or put down, does not meet the civility standard here. "I" statements that are okay are ones about *your* feelings, such as, "I felt upset when I read that," as opposed to, "I feel your posts are uncivil." It helps some people to ask another Babbler to be a 'civility buddy' and look over your posts before you submit them.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin and should of course be civil.
Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action.
