C'mon. I'm all in favor of being careful with the rules, and I've repeatedly spoken out in support of the deputies who, imho, are doing a fine job overall.
But where did this "more leniency for incivility to Dr. Bob" standard come from? This is "civil" within the context of the site's rules?:
"How absolutely shameful and self-centered.
(Belated note to self: Duh! Why in the world would someone with this personality type give a rat's *ss? Rolls eyes and shakes head at the rampant idealism.)
It's true this is finger-pointing and accusing. There is no hedging or compassion for whatever internal state is driving the narcissism."
So, calling Dr. Bob out as a shameful and self-centered narcissist is not uncivil? In comparison to so many PBCs I've seen, that's remarkable. While Dr. Bob might be more tolerant of criticism directed toward him, does such forbearance justify intentionally demeaning character attacks?
Civility is civility, end of story. The standards should not be variable.
