Flame wars get started, and after a while you learn who does that most often. We have a good history file. After a while, we write and ask for a change in habits. Raising the level of civility here is a reasonable goal, but not one we have been, or will be zealous about. A prod here and there, more than a stick, might help. All of us sweat the overbearing thing, and don't like it, particulary myself.

Makes sense to me, as an active participant in many a flame war.

"A prod here and there, more than a stick, might help."

FReepmails work well for that. Public proddings and stickings will only raise the dander of the type of free-thinker who prospers on FR.
