> I am sure that that Bob underestimates this mental health community's ability to handle words like *ss or criticism of political leaders ... I'm speaking of how unfortunate it is when interesting and helpful contributors feel uncomfortable remaining in a community where their expression is needlessly criticized and punished.
Individuals vary in willingness and ability to handle incivility. IMO, however, the larger the community, the greater the potential disruption. You see bigger waves in an ocean than in a bathtub.
I agree, it's unfortunate when someone feels uncomfortable. But it can be hard to make everyone happy. If they're looking for big waves, maybe they've come to the wrong place?

It's an interesting question, why people stay somewhere they feel uncomfortable. What is it they hope to gain?
