Thanks Gabbi.
I don't disagree with Dr. Bob's application of the civility guidelines to all boards. But I do think the current situation causes a fair amount of confusion and distress.
Not that it's that much different than any other board. On every board there are difficulties in balancing what a poster might wish to say with what a poster is allowed to say. I am no doubt not alone when I decide not to say anything at all, if I don't think I can say it within the civility guidelines within the energy level I have to expend on the matter.
But I think it's a special challenge on the topics of Religion and Politics.
The things we do to protect ourselves... Mind you, my therapist agrees that I should probably keep protecting myself that way by telling him he doesn't need to call. So maybe in his case, it's the smart thing to do. :)
