What's wrong with civility?

“Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned kind of guy, but I think it's possible to discuss issues, make jokes and disagree without being uncivil.

I also think that each time a person posts something crude/insensitive, he or she diminishes the impact of his/her future posts.

Each time we post, we add to a track record. Hostility is the quickest route to message board irrelevance.”

“GREAT point! Reformed is the most mature person on here.”

“I agree.”

“Good thoughts RL.”

“i try so hard...”

“Say, how would you pronounce your handle? Is it vee-trix, or vix-trix?”

“This is what I'm sayin'”

“A certain question from our resident high school boy to Aero comes to mind.
Thread titles should be considered before they are posted, also.”

“I agree and this is something I have a hard time with. I can?t think of one TTer who doesn?t have their moods and I KNOW I got mine.

My moments of immaturity are fleeting but their impressions linger like a bad fart.”

“I completely agree, RL.

And, Nigal, I was going to say [your moments of maturity leave the impression of a goodfart?] but I don't want this thread to get off topic, because I'd enjoy this place a lot more if there was more civility as RL described.

I do like the joking around and the off-topic posts and threads are just fine with me.”

“What RL posted was right on!

I just wish folks would show some restraint and ignore nastiness. Any reply is encouragement.”

“Self-control is a skill that can only be developed with practice.”

“Yes, I agree with RL and I will restrian myself from the urge to pound that little...

OOpppps sorry. It just really sucks when "un named person, but I think we all know who I'm talking about" goes on about with that drivel and personally insults people. Again, I will try to take the higher road and be the bigger person. I don't want to contribute to the nastiness that takes away from the spirt of this board.”

“I'm stiil trying to wrap my mind around the concept of a 'good' fart.

BOL”

“Civility on TT??? In a large group of people, there will always be those who have no class. This is one of the worst discussions boards I have seen for this other than a couple mountain biking ones.”

“Thanks fer the thread RL. Good Manners and respect are under-rated.”

“RL, very good points. And as one who has gotten a little uncivil (not my fault...its the beer LOL),my apologies to the offended party for past comments and for the dumb@ss stuff I will assuredly say in days to come...”

“Good thoughts RL. Sometimes things get pretty nasty here, but I have seen a lot worse.

A lot of the rock climbing forums are just horrible. A whole bunch of immature wankers hackin' on each other.

TT is a very unique place. I hope we can all continue to enjoy it, and maybe even make it better.”

“My mistake.

I thought this thread was about senility.”

“civil? itty?

Well, if it's civil and it's itty-bitty, it's probably no fun :P”

“I agree. It is possible to have lot of fun without being uncivil.”

“RL, you come across on TT just as you do in person, a good person with great insight. Thanks for posting a much needed thread.”
