> I'm not sure either except that I'm thinking that if one becomes consumed with civility it can supplant/undermine/compromise the goal of support in much the same way that laws designed to preserve a social order can impinge on civil liberties.

Yup.

> ...it has always bothered me that a site that purports to be a supportive place for people struggling with mental illness could justify blocking someone under the premise of civility for weeks on end for something as assinine as an individual who utters a self-deprecating statement such as, " I feel like such an *ss."

Put like that I don't think I would understand it either... I guess it is the greater context of us having been asked not to do this. Also... I think it was blocks like that that got to Dr Bob making the civility checker so that wouldn't happen anymore...
