I've just read through the policies and am wondering what is a PBC. Are they, as one poster above mentioned, no longer used?
Following is a quote I found from the Policy section on Civility. I agree with this quote up to a point (and that is allowing people to be 'uncivil'.). What constitutes infraction incurring incivility can be parsed out later. What I like here is the idea of a flexibility and humanity--other posters in other threads above have made this same point. At the same time, I also like the sense of safety and community that a moderated board provides."Part of learning how to deal with others might just be for people to be uncivil, have that pointed out by Dr. Bob and other members, and then work on appropriate alternate behaviors, and then keep posting. I have seen that happen many times here. There is the possibility for growth in this setting, kind of like group therapy, and I think people should take advantage of that. Sort of like practice here, before going to the "outside world" and dealing with the humans in our family and work lives. I would encourage people to ignore posters who press their buttons."
