I'd like to add or clarify, I understand there has been concern about people definately "meaning" what they post- *but* for whatever reason, simultaneously committing a civility error, unintentionally. Ie, not comprehending that whatever they said could be read or understood differently from whatever innocent way they intentended, or perhaps by using regionally acceptable and normal phrases or tones which sound fine and unremarkable within their own circles, but horrible to people elsewhere, who are accustomed to different usage.

Of course, what the fair answer to that problem is, I have no more to say- no idea.


> > I don't think that just because there is forced civility, that people are insincere in what they post. I, for one, always mean what I post. If I don't feel I can respond civilly, I don't respond. I would hope that others do the same, but obviously I can't know everyone on Babble's intentions when they post.
