Or, reworded: "Please put 300 weasel words to sneak it past the Civility Detector 3000"

  The GP comment can be made better simply by removing words, not adding any.

    Please omit ye words of terror, lest ye inflict your verbal assassinations upon our poor fragile temperaments. Don't know of anything more scared of a little heat than a snowflake.

      It's a question of which words to remove. Information-free swipes make for a lower signal/noise ratio and cause feedback loops that rapidly escalate. The risk isn't "a little heat", it's scorched earth. The purpose is not to suppress intelligent discourse but to keep the forum from destroying itself.

        Which words would you remove from Shakespeare to make his plays objectively better?

          At this point you've moved the goalposts off the pitch.

    I'm just pointing out that's what the civility guidelines really are. You can be as rude as you want to somebody, as long as you pretend you're not by dressing it up.

  lol, flagged for truth. I've seen people here advocating for crazy far right talking points. Eugenics, race based IQ, all sorts of crap. It's absolutely about civility. Course the left, the actual left, gets shut down right quick. Why? Because dang is a lib and libs are cowards. Scratch a lib, a fascist bleeds.
