Mutual respect is really important. If respect falters, civility can remain.
Anthony is a fine example.

Yeah. Fine example of bearing false witness.

I like Anthony's style. Even when he's nasty, he does it semi-nicely, and it always makes me laugh.

When I first showed up on the doorstep I had a hard time believing everything Frem said, sure some of it seemed to make sense, but some of it was way out there. But the thing is that the longer I know him the more it makes sense given his experiences and I've come to believe most of it. As for conspiracies, I think we need some conspiracy theorists out there to keep humanity on its toes, so we look at stuff that we would normally just gloss over, because complacence is how the government/corporations/authority figures trick us into accepting stuff that isn't acceptable.

And yeah Wulf that was mean, the startling irrelevence is like what Wish said to me in the other thread for no good reason, I don't tollerate irrelevent insults and now that you mention it I remember you doing that before and I thought it was nasty and irrelevent, thanks for reminding me that that's how you roll.

Anthony's chalkboard scratching civility is humorous, I can tell he's royally pissed but his wit makes it funny, even when he's pissed at me. Anthony has my respect.

When people are mean to me I try not to be mean back in the same ways, I try to limit my meanness and, when I'm weak and give in, I try and be mean sideways, people may not like it, but I think it makes them squirm more than if I was just going to be mean regular.

Riona, doll, I don't think ANYONE here "squirms". RWE is a pretty hot "kitchen" some of the time, and we usually warn newcomers of that. People have to be pretty hard boiled to hang around here long--or even WANT to, so I don't think you can make anyone squirm. There may be a couple of exceptions, but especially those who are deliberately mean are "unsquirmable". ;o)

Believe it or not, this place is FAR more civil than a few others I could mention, but it's still no place for those who can't give as good as they get sometimes!

I think "squirm can be interpreted in different ways. I guess I define squirm as someone getting really mad about something that really shouldn't have been that bad ... or should it have.

Your definition is wrong, I hate to say.

Okay I could stop calling that squirming, that's just what it feels like to me, when someone blows something way out of proportion, but it doesn't sound like that's the accepted definition of squirm, so I'll figure out something else to call it.

Quote Riona: "when someone blows something way out of proportion,"

Takes it personal

Over-reacts

Goes ballistic

Riona - I was KIDDING! :) Well, not entirely, I mean, yours is a unique take on the word 'squirming', but so what ? You're kinda unique,imo. But to come out and flatly state that your personal interpretation of 'squirm' was wrong... well, THAT was me being silly. Kinda a spin on the whole " somewhere, someone on the internet is wrong! " idea, and there being a need to do something about it...

OK, perhaps a bit too subtle attempt @ humor.
