In reply to more nurturing for whom? 'bullies' are posters too (nm) » SLS, posted by zenhussy on June 17, 2009, at 11:17:22
First of all, I resemble that remark.
Secondly, your remark is a reminder that an idyllic society might not be possible with bullies and trolls extant. However, rules governing posting behaviors can reduce the hurt they might like to inflict. This increases the safety of the posting environment, and allows a vulnerability that I don't remember seeing prior to the the enactment of the rules of civility. I think it is a shared allowance of each other to become vulnerable that nurtures growth.
