stjames,
Yeah, civility is (I'm sure you know) "adequate in courtesy and politeness : MANNERLY" and being asked to be civil is labeling me as "uncivil" and that's is name calling, and offends me, especially since the standard of "civility" is subjective to a myriad of things. (cultural relativism, etc)
I guess my point is (obviously) that anything can offend anyone...and censorship and labeling are on the top of my list, especially in a community of people struggling to regain a sense of who they are... people at their wits end with being depressed, suffering through often debilitating side-effects (that their doctors often never mention)...and looking for a reason to live.
