It never ceases to astound me that a forum like this can both be so civilised and also so spiteful in places. Spite begets spite. We now have thinly veiled spite as well as spite in open speech. So we have 'civilised spite' now.
This pisses me off mightily.
When the Mystery Moderator comes online today I will be asking him to edit or remove content that is, in his opinion, spiteful, though with due regard for genuine humour. However, his concept of humour may differ from your own.
This is part of my drive, not to sanitise nor to censor, but to return to fully civilised behaviour here. It is the behaviour that utters the spite that I object to.
If there is something to say that is beneficial, say it. If there is something that is fun, whether useful or not, say it. If there is a hard message that should be heard, take time to phrase it well, and say it. But if you are going to hurt someone just for the sake of it or for your own internal purposes, swallow your tongue.
