I guess if there isn't a clear overview of the purpose of a board, then it is easier to worry about other's perceptions. And as someone stated, no one can fully understand how another individual feels.
My goal isn't to discuss Politics exclusively.
I'd like to know why we throw ourselves into the lengthy and windy threads about civility. It reminds me of the childhood game "dog pile". Someone started it and we couldn't be satisfied until we had all jumped into the action.
