Here's my deal about this. I think that when Zo recited a rule of civility to Andy, she was suggesting to him that he had broken one. I found that suggestion to be pretty incredible because I thought Andy made a very generic comment, directed to no one in particular, and although inarticulately stated, one that contained more than a grain of truth. Like Dinah, I assumed that Andy was a relatively new poster, and I thought he deserved alot better than to have people take what he said as indicating a lack of civilityl
There's been alot of discussion lately about the rules of civility stifling discourse and I agree that it's sometimes difficult to figure out the parameters, but i also agree with IsoM, that if we assumed the good intentions of others (absent the proverbial smoking gun of course), these debates might not even be necessary.
