I've never read a FAQ.
Perhaps some innate deviousness has made it natural for me to master the civility rules.
Just like home.
So, I'd (probably) know what was uncivil, and it would merely be a question of whether I was willing to do the public recant and repentance.
If you wrote to me arguing (as in "Darkness at Noon") that some greater good in which I believed justified my misrepresenting myself, or differently, if you were to argue that I had already misrepresented myself (not too hard) I would listen and perhaps agree.I grew up in a family where there were often correct and cold relations, so the civility rules seem to come naturally to me.
I remember Seldomseen's good post about form vs content, something about the spirit of the post is up to you.
That stung a bit, my spirit being what it is.
