> One measure of "how much imperfection" to allow is whether an alleged incivility or insensitivity does in fact disturb anyone enough to click the "Notify" button.
That's the direction I'd like to move, but it'll only work if enough posters are willing to click that button.

Just to be clear, notifications aren't totally anonymous, they come to us with posting names, but we do keep that information to ourselves.
> I haven't racked up a PBC or block yet, but I have received a few PBS reprimands, the most recent for indicating my opinion that John McCain probably would be a better president than George W. Bush. I have an extremely hard time imagining many sets of people not including Dr. Bob who would find expression of that sentiment notably "insensitive."
I'm sorry if that was hard on you. What if next time you just post that your opinion is that McCain would be a good president?
