Yeah...I saw that thread and thought Dr. Bob was using the PBC a bit too rigidly. I think he should have perhaps explicitly stated that if anyone else posted on the thread they should/must change the subject line first.
I would have done the same as Damos without a thought...and it wouldn't have been dumb. Isn't dumb at all. Just natural at times here to not even look a the subject line when replying, unless it is blantantly uncivil, of course...
What do you say, Dr. Bob? Can you see how any innocent poster would have done the same? Could you have instead posted a *warning post,* or an *explanatory post,* instead of a PBC? I'm just thinking the connotation of a PBC (with Civility as the central focus and you obviously knowing Damos wasn't actually being uncivil) is what doesn't *fit* under these circumstances.
Once again, I find myself thinking alike with Tamar....wow, how very cool! :-)
