Please respect the views of others even if you think they're wrong. Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
Also, if you see or know of any private attacks on anyone on this board, please notify the administrators. I know that sometimes things happen in babblemail, and I'm not sure if it's generally known that babblemail also is covered by the civility guidelines. Any uncivil babblemails should be reported to Dr. Bob. I think there's a place at the bottom of the babblemail to do that. If you find a post uncivil, you can also use the Notify the Administrators function. I realize that many people consider this tattling, or getting someone in trouble, but unfortunately Dr. Bob is not always around and things don't always get noticed. Notifying the Administrator is a way to for posters to help avoid escalation and in general keep the board running more smoothly.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions. His email is on the bottom of each page. Please feel free to email him if you believe this decision was made in error.
Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
