NikkiT2,

I regret that you are abandoning our discussion. We look through a mirror in a dark room sometimes and to see clearly, there needs to be more light to come in. And sometimes we must revisit other's posts because we have more light to examine them than when they were first posted.
You wrote, [...want what you thought...not John V or A.Gibson's thought...]
Each time that I revisit those posts I get some new light upon this subject. I commend John V and A.Gibson for some of their insight that they have posted here. I believe that they were trying to write that there is much more to civility than just making a code and prescribing punishments.
The answer to your question is:[it depends]. I believe that there are a lot of factors that determine civility or uncivility and how civility could foster [harmony] in a community. I would like to see more discussion on this topic her, for I believe in civility.
Lou
