> My theory is that it's rarely unawareness of what "civil" means that leads to uncivil posts. I think either (1) posters lose their cool, (2) they know they're being uncivil but feel it's justified (for example, as "tough love"), or (3) their primary intention is just to provoke.
Respectfully, I utterly disagree. I think rather, people can mix up their normal, everyday "civility" with the "rules" meant to keep order on the board.
