> at the same time I make an excuse to Bush supporters when they may feel sad and hurt about my statement but I make an excuse to children also who lost one of their extremities in Iraq and Afghanistan. I make an excuse because I am a human being.Applying these rules I now should say to the nazi who was attacked by a punk: "I am sorry that you can't smell anymore because you felt on your occipital bone, but because you said that they're bastards I have to punish you somehow". This clearly is ridiculous and absurd. It is not an all day, hospital, sport, hobby or another situation but here it is an online forum situation. What this shows is that there are clear limitations in such a forum or/and it is difficult to manage ethical issues in an online forum. What is shows is then that it can also be very questionable to punish somebody.
Not being allowed to explain similarities and real facts in history means to disavow something categorical. This behavior can be uncivil towards other individuals. When I say by applying the policies here: "this government accepted torture and violated Geneva laws" I must make an excuse to Bush supporters for that statement at the same time which is alarming and uncivil.
