  How is it that calling somebody a coward is considered civil, but calling a group a bunch of morons not?

    I find I tend to give more leeway to those who have posted here before in good faith. Eli fits that bill, as does you. I don’t think Derek has ever posted here before (correct me if I’m wrong), and his first comment (that he didn’t delete) was calling us morons.

    You know how you said you were interested in how this community would develop? Well, I think I’ve started learning how to be a decent mod. I’ve learned from users like TJD and Karo. If they start out being uncivil, they’ll probably continue being uncivil.

      Selectively applying the rules is a recipe for disaster.

        Maybe, and if it is, I’ll learn then. But discretion is a thing in real life, and it seems to work semi-successfully.
