Is this civil? These are not my opinions. It is an example designed to help me learn more about civlity standards at Babble.
I have modeled this closely after the post you found acceptable about parallels between terrorists and allied forces. I am struggling to understand your requirements for civility. Please tell me if this acceptable. Thanks.
Here's a paradox: Nazi persecutors in our society are supposedly evil. The definition of a Nazi persecutor is a person who limits the participation of an identified other in the community. Yet our board administrator limits the participation of an identified other in the community.
Our board administrator is not a Nazi persecutor? This is not about power and control?

For to allow one poster to limit another poster's participation here reeks to me of the Nazi situation in the early part of the Nazi persecution of the jews when jews were ghetoized and made to place an identifying star on their clothing.
> My recommendation to accomodate those that want to exclude someone here, in any way, is to remind them that this is a public forum and that posters here are [equal], and that if they want to not have a particular person respond to them that they can go to another place that allows such, or another place where that person would not be.
