"I think the board should be removed. There are too many misunderstandings about what is deemed uncivil. We are losing too many good people."
PRECISELY jakeman! You put it far more succinctly than I.
I think Dr Bob is really expecting far too much of people to discuss politics like a bunch of pansies.......after all, if the politicians can't manage to discuss things without getting heated, then why should us proles be expected to behave differently?
I can understand his harsh implementation of the rules on the majority of the boards as there are sensitive people here who to a degree need a "soft" environment to talk in, but IMO if they venture into the wolves den that is politics then they should be strong enough to deal with things when they get a bit heated, provided of course things are kept civil and personal abuse doesnt set in.
