What you just said expresses so well the feeling that haunts Babble these days. I think most everyone agrees that some kinds of civility rules are needed, but that they should be as gently applied and unobtrusive as possible.. The degree to which they are being (over)used now has resulted in a terrible loss of spontaneity, naturalness and expressiveness. Posters no longer feel that they can be themselves.
If this current discussion indeed proves to be productive, some of the important emotional issues, like this one, need to be acknowledged and addressed..
