Nice cherry-picking from my coherent thesis, Bob. Kind of changes the meaning when you take my thoughts out of context.
> Incivility isn't unrestrained.
Yes, it is, and by applying your own definitions. You appear to have cut a side-deal with one poster, allowing over-exaggeration and over-generalization to continue, despite being a couple of the few examples in your FAQ.
> Voices aren't being ignored. Opinions are being disagreed with.
As I further remarked, what you are calling disagreement (from you) comes across as condescencion and trivialization (from over here).
> A leader is a servant? When a community can't self-manage?Don't even go there. I said that in a HEALTHY community, the leader serves the people. You have created a community that cannot self manage. Stop twisting my words, please.
> If you tolerate behavior a community disagrees with, you give someone the experience of acceptance. And you give yourself peace.This is more than behaviour that is disagreed with, Bob. It is against community standards. Try that argument with pedophilia, and see how far you get.
> Yes, I'm satisfied so far. For one thing, old posters are starting to post again. :-)
