Please be sensitive to the feelings of others (such as supporters of the Bush Administration).
But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.
> Yet, on this site, they are beyond reproach, by administrative fiat. I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance as a result.
I'm sorry about your experience, but the goal of this site is support, not reproach.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceYou might want to consider asking another poster to be your "civility buddy" and to preview your posts before you submit them.
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob
PS: I'm trying out a new system:
previous block: 4 weeks
period of time since previous block: 7 weeks
uncivil toward a particular individual or group: yes
particularly uncivil: no
different type of incivility: no
clearly didn't understand PBC and made effort to reply: no
provoked: no
uncivil in multiple posts at same time: no
already archived: noIf we take 7 weeks, divide by 10, and round down, that's a reduction of 0 weeks. If we apply that to your previous block, that's 4 - 0 = 4 weeks. And if we triple that, that's 12 weeks.
