> But do I have to be *nasty* in the *way* I discuss disturbing things - like war - with others?> That's what I meant. That it's never a given (inherent) that we are somehow forced to abandon civility in order to talk about certain things.
so people who break the civility rules are *nasty* in the *way* they discuss things...
that is what is meant by 'abandoning civility'?
you really think the civility rules latch on to that?
you really think Declan's comment was *nasty*?i'm not asking you to say whether you agree or not
(that might be nasty)
i'm asking you to think about the implications of what you have said for people who get blockedi think you don't want to say that at all...
i think you might want to distinguish between
1) civility (dictionary definition)
2) civility (bob's definition)you might just want to...
after all...
