clarification requested:
i was chastized for "pointing a finger at everyone" by making a comment about the posters on babble, a generalization. It was not a particularly kind one i admit.
However, i have recently noticed a far from kind finger-pointing generalization post that doesn't even speak in terms of personal experience, but instead just wholesale denegrates everyone.
now, i am all for being able to express an opinion about the community as a whole, kind or unkind, so long as it is not directed at a specific poster. And by community, i mean babble, not outside groups or populations. BUT i want this clarified.
Can we or can we not make statements of personal feelings about the babble community that may be unkind or unwelcomed?
i would prefer to have any answer given to be done so here, on the boards rather than through email. If something is being said regarding policy, this time i want it public and not private.

It is against the rules.
However, if a poster has been blocked on another thread, that holds for all uncivil comments made before they were blocked. You only get blocked once. The same goes for PBC's. You're only asked to be civil, as a general rule, on one thread and that includes all statements made up to that point.
It is taken into account if more than one uncivil statement is made at once time when determining block length.

the poster is not blocked, and in the thread in question there is no PBC to that poster either.
am i missing something?
