You make a good point, about people here being sensitive and may feel hurt easily. The "PBC" or please-be-civil is always after the fact, when someone may have already gotten hurt. I wonder if it would be good to have posts or discussions on dealing with this aspect of being "mental" -- such as what to do when someone is mean, or when feeling attacked, or having been aggressive with someone else.

I'd also like to point out that while many people do have problems keeping their emotional reactions within "normal" limits, many people on this board are also extremely sensitive and it doesn't take much for them to feel very hurt. It's of overriding importance that they feel that this board is a safe haven. It's my observation that after you've been around for awhile and managed to behave yourself most of the time, DR. bob seems to cut a little slack. Sometimes I think his trigger finger is rather quick, but mostly I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
