[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come here for information not civility.  Frankly, I find the brusque and to the point posts with useful information much more helpful than the whining about how a post does not sound nice.[/quote]

Agree. Actually, there have been [b]many [/b]brusque, to the point posts (similar to the examples from the prescription post) that have woken me out of my over reactionary, making a bigger deal than necessary, state of mind[/quote]

I gently suggest that if it takes "many" brusque posts for you to consider what someone has said, you have other issues.  Personally, I have no problem with brusque/to the point posts. But we're not talking about those.  We're discussing mean and rude posts.  The examples listed abouve are rude.  It communicates to me the responder isn't really interested in providing assistance, she's interested in snark.  That's not been the way of the SN forum which is usually to provide assistance/insight/another POV, even if it's not what the OP wants to hear.[b] That can all be done in a polite, civil manner[/b].  It would be a shame if the norms of the SN forum devolved to those of General Parenting.

Are you planning on rating the posts so that it meets your standard of "polite and civil", brusque but ok b/c it imparts information, too snarky, etc.?  Maybe you should start your own forum...[/quote]
