There's something about the vulnerability of Babble community members who are posting from a hurting place and are hurt further in turn by a PBC. Somehow I don't think the timing is correct for Bob's "lessons" in civility to be taught or reinforced then. It's not a matter of letting someone cool down, either. To me it's recognizing that the person might be posting from a position of pain and perhaps torment.
Yes, I'm a sensitive person. Sensitive myself; to I also try to be sensitive to others. Recently Bob obliquely referred to be as thin skinned. I wear that skin with pride.
