I don't understand this.....

I have no problem with differing opinions... that's kinda what "dialogue", sharing, and the like is about, right? And I'm well aware of the civility rules on the site.

But this stance:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20040304/msgs/320265.html

would make it appear it's fine to not put down the positive things one might have to say about said site, but to disagree with that, however civil, isn't acceptable?

Could not this apply to plenty of other opinions regarding just about anything.... the application and adherence to this being requested are just about limitless on the topics discussed here.

Maybe it's because it's beyond comprehension?
Just a hunch ;)

Dr. Bob? Clarification please?

Surely this isn't some sort of new rule that you can't disagree with the position of posters, never mind an organization? As long as it is done within the civility guidelines?

What sort of statements would and wouldn't be ok?

This isn't about disagreement, it's about incivility, for example:

> The stories of benzo.org are mostly inane
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20040304/msgs/320253.html

It's still fine to disagree in a civil way.
