I'm not saying we can't have a discussion on this.. but as Dinah says, its been done a million times.
And there are people here who would like to see the site shut down. Its those people that my comments on "if it upsets you so much why bother hanging around" were aimed at.
Posters such as Lost Boy have come here time and time again and upset people with their incivility time and time again. I think you're a pretty new babbler.. I've been here ariund 4 years, and seen these things happen so many times. There are people who are simply un-civil for the hell of it.. and in nasty nasty ways. And yes, history has shown that they will continue to do so after warnings etc. The civility rules haven't been here for 4 years, and they were bought in for a reason.
Like Dinah suggested, spend some time reading the archives, and maybe you will begin to see where we are coming from.
