Hey there. I tend to notice when people mention PB over there. I notice it quite a lot in the travellers lounge especially. When new people turn up and say they have run into trouble at some other site the typical question seems to be whether they had trouble with 'civility'.
I think it is a way of welcoming people and letting them know they are not alone in struggling with civility and that they will be welcomed without judgement at that site.
I have read comments about Babble / certain posters at Babble which I wasn't terribly happy with. But one can't try and apply civility rules at another site...

Well... I think it is interesting to contemplate their differences and the differences in the group dynamic. Especially if one is interested in how the rules of the site and the discipline on the site affect the group dynamic. Also about how different posters feel more at home at one place over another. Why is that? Do certain sites have a tendancy to draw certain types of posters?
I guess I just find it interesting.
But I also understand that people are worried about people at one site backstabbing / making derogatory comments about another site / posters at another site.
