Sorry, but I need to ask you not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil

Follow-ups in this thread should of course themselves be civil, too.

That said, the below are all good points:

> Debate and discussion does not have to be to the point that the above phrases have to be used or people have to be blocked.
>
> The tongue can be more harmful then a sword, I am sure you know.
>
> emails can be hurtful if not carefully written.
>
> I sincerely believe that posters who have hurt individuals ... care but did not know the negitive effect.

> I think part of the problem also arises that one believes they have to convince others to agree with their point.
>
> A very powerful tool that is not used often enough is the ability to "agree to dissagree" or the simple tool of listening.

IMO, reposting isn't the worst thing in the world, but an edit key has in fact been discussed before:
