It is a shame!!!

Are the posters here saying that the moderators aren't doing their jobs and have let personal attacks slide?

Speaking for myself, I'm certainly not saying that, or in anyway meaning to criticise moderators. Moderators do a wonderful job.

I'm talking about that grey area that is not a direct personal attack, but lacks courtesy and civility, that could easily be employed.

To make blanket statements with no examples is not very beneficial since the persons will never think that you are directing your comments at them.

Again, I hope we don't resort to quotes. I think those folks stepping over the line know who they are, and JonHM raises good points, I agree with him and do not want to single individuals out. Instead, I hope they join in and agree to a collaborative effort for courtesy and future civility... everyone is welcome in this effort.

Shouldn't this thread be on the Debate Board?

Oh my goodness, NO!

This discussion isn't intended to be a debate, its a call for courtesy and civility, different than the debate standards that should occur and are more appropriate over on the debate board. Courtesy, discusion (pros and cons welcome) and inclusion over here -> aggressive debate over there.

I guess the difference is kind of the main point, I rarely go over to the debate board, but I do come here to be a part of the DVC community. I do not come here to participate in some of the repetitive, tiresome, and discourteous aurgumentativeness that seems to be occuring increasingly more frequently here. I'm here to share and learn about DVC with fellow and potential members.

So, how about it, can we all agree to courtesy and civility on this board? Everyone's invited, how about it?

If it looks like a debate, smells like a debate, and acts like a debate. Then, in a most polite tone, it is most likely a debate.

Feel free to introduce a debate topic on our Debate Board. This has strayed from a DVC discussion here. This thread is closed.
