I'm civil when I post to other forums. I just have this way of upsetting people. :-(
I upset people with all the references to death and suicide that I make. Then people are so upset that they become angered even when I write something that doesn't have anything to do with death and suicide. Everything I write then just upsets more people.
I've upset a lot of people here at Babble in the past, mostly with my suicide threats and threats of self harm. (If I wrote this sentence elsewhere, people would get angry. I can't even mention the word "suicide" or else people get upset.) I'm glad the civility rules are what they are. They protect me from people getting angry at me and writing things like, "You're a troll. You play with the emotions of people and take advantage of them."
I'm not a troll because I'm not sitting behind the computer screen laughing at how I hurt people.
I wrote about my breast cancer fears at another site and got labelled as a troll. I wrote the same here but the civility rules protected me.
