> John, I'm not sure how long you've been babbling. But I don't think anyone objects to discussing administrative issues. It's just that it's been done and done and done. It comes up on a regular basis and is thoroughly discussed. I don't feel like I have too much more to contribute. I don't even bother to argue in favor of the civility standards much any more, because I'm pretty sure Dr. Bob isn't going to do away with them. Were he to announce that he was doing away with them, I'd have plenty to say.
>Yes I have searched through the threads, and I have seen signs that this site is progressive in some policy. Progress and change are and can be good, and I don't see why civility policies should not be up for discussion and for possible change. Laws often change to suit the community, and as a law student maybe that is why I am so keen on diplomacy, interaction, and progressive policy. They (policies) should not just accomodate any single person, but take into account our differences. That is the only way a community can survive and prove to be worthwhile to "all" as well as relevant and viable.
> I was responding to those relatively few posters who seem intent on bringing in outside authorities to shut the place down. I love Babble, and would be just as upset if anyone tried to take away anything I loved.
>Well I agree that is not the right way to go about things, and I think some may be attempting this out of anger. But, it is not just about myself or you, but about a viable and worthwhile community that serves all of it's members.
Sincerely, John V.
