If it's not uncivil to ask if what others post is uncivil, I don't see how it's uncivil to ask if questioning the civility of what others post is uncivil. That's all. (Boy if someone came into the middle of this with no background on the debate, I think that sentence might make their head explode!)
Owww! And I didn't even come in late.Well, yeah. I understand that there have to be rules for what is commonly found offensive, and I'm glad that they are here. However I don't see how hypothetically, it would be considered *okay* or taking ownership of one's emotions if one was offended by every single thing deemed *uncivil* but somehow not taking ownership if one was offended by something not listed. Sounds like a scary majority rules concept on legitimizing feelings.
