Why do you assume that civility standards will get looser? Its possible that the community will be as equally or more intolerant of incivil speech as before.

But if your correct that things get looser, why will that not necessarily also mean better? Some once thought a woman speaking her mind was incivil. That loosened in this society for the better IMO. In the past if someone said, "I feel like such and *ss sometimes," they were told to be civil. If no one were to be offended by that in the future, I would consider that an improvement, for example.

Sometimes change is good. But for certain, you never know until you try. Babble isn't for everyone. Maybe some of those I miss will return.
