> Maaaayyyybeeee a Please Be Supportive, but I don't see a PBC.
Well... There was a PBC in the thread header, but in the content of the post he said:
> Please respect the views of others even if you think they're wrong. Please be sensitive to their feelings. Please don't pressure them.
So I guess that was what he was thinking...
> I realize that hurt feelings did arise from the exchange, but that doesn't make a post uncivil, does it??
Maybe... It was to do with the poster appreciating that she was offended, and not backing down at that point... Maybe... It had to do with what Fallen had to say when this issue came up before. About... People not being supportive. I think... It is a really hard topic. And sometimes... People do want support for things that we find really very hard to support them in (believing it to be ultimately destructive). But I guess... In those circumstances we have to be careful to phrase things sensitively... Or to leave the thread for others who are able to do that.I probably shouldn't have jumped on the thread either...
