Re: Yet Another Appeal for Civility

While I like your intention, you are suffering from a conceptual problem

This board is open to many you never meet or even avoid in real life.

So don't expect to be able to address your appeal to the grownups you are used to.

It's like simultaneously pledging for civility in a kindergarten, a mental asylum, a jail house and the headquarter of Isis. °

(Update: And with such an audience we are still doing surprisingly well on PM!!!)

On a meta perspective nowadays we are even suffering from the reverse effect, that Web behavior is leaking into our reality and destroying civility.

See for instance the "commander in tweet" and the dynamics of "alternative facts".
