Of course it does. This is the crux of the behavioral dynamic that produces the frustration and sense of powerlessness many of us feel here. It appears to me that you have established new precedents and policies for determining what is permissible posting behavior. They seem to be different from those you instituted in the past. You have accomplished this tacitly through inaction. I think it unlikely that you would reverse these changes at this juncture. They are simply too new. You must feel strongly that they are healthy and desirable.
Can you please define or give examples of the following terms used on this website's FAQ page to determine civility? This would help me - and perhaps others - better understand your inaction in allowing posts that many of us feel are uncivil as they relate to these terms.
1. Exaggerate
2. Overgeneralize
3. Etc.http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Thanks.
