> I'm disturbed that once someone has been blocked, there aren't any requests to be civil, but just further blocks. It really doesn't give someone a chance to rephrase or anything.

There can be, the last time I asked Larry to PBC was in November. And of course everyone always has a chance to rephrase -- before hitting submit...

> There is so much to be gained by actively practicing civility: don't say stuff to people that you wouldn't want them to say to you. This is not about having thin or thick hide; it's about being a social being amongst other social beings in ways that allows us to express our feelings without trodding on others'.

I agree!

Sure, I'd be happy to ask, but an expert on what topic?

But if grief is just somewhere you're redirected to if a family member or friend dies and you seek to share it with your community, then it's just isolating.

This is sort of a tangent, but I have to agree, Grief is more isolating than active. Maybe it's just not going to work as a separate board...

Thanks for starting this thread, I really like the emphasis on working together to try to improve things.
