It occurs to me that the civility debate will continue ad nauseum until something is significantly changed. My take is that Bob, et al refuse to admit that something is wrong, something isn't working. Instead, they appear to dig their heels in and up the ante, with no apparent benefit to this forum or its participants. I find it very unfortunate when people cannot or will not consider ideas other than their own. Like the "drug war" or the "war on terror", pouring more effort into the current mindset does not help. Perhaps a willingness to experiment with other approaches is in order. Try something different. Remember that popular definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
