What would you say to some mandatory civility?
Before I go any further, yes. I was a master of incivility for years. I am no longer so and haven't been since day one of DU3.

I've been more off DU than on for the last 6 months or more, mostly because of politics overload. Instead of DU, I have been frequenting a few non political focused-interest/hobby sites. On all of them, there is a low tolerance for off color posts, disrespectful posts, etc.

On one of them there is a near zero tolerance for incivility and anything more than PG humor. Even the word "damn" is not permitted. Not even "d**n" or "^%$*&!" are allowed. The result is that the topics matter and the discussion stays on topic. When one joins the site, one is presented with a list of rules. One must pledge to abide by the rules or face having their membership revoked.

While that sounds harsh, the fact is no one is forced to join. One voluntarily subjects oneself to self-censorship. The result is a very relaxing online experience.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

1. Sounds like DU2.

No thanks.

Back to the basement, Stinky. Litter box needs scooped again.

Was DU2 known for its civility?  I don't get Skinners response.

Not that fister had the means or the balls to make good on it, but it was enough impotent rage for a chuckle on that day.

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Wow, I knew ski$$er didn't like Mike but I never realized he disliked him this much.

I never thought STC was more or less civil than the other DUmmies at either version 1, 2, or 3 . . . they all come off as miserable wretches to me, even Peggy herself at times.

Mike has never been either civil or uncivil.

He has just been a grindingly boring DUmmy.

For years he was one of the DUmp's most prolific posters, without ever making even a single comment that was clever, or intelligent, or entertaining.

He was nothing but boring, finishing in the top twenty DUmmy of the Year votes simply on the basis of volume.

Rumor has it his recent absence has been due to domestic strife with his trophy wife Sparkly, a dilletante decades his junior.

Stinky isn't really interested in civility, he's posting obnoxious shit at DUjr as RATFINK 5.0.

QFT, and that's where the phrase "impotent rage" comes from!

Ever since Mikey the Steer (formerly "Mikey the Bull") caught the Trophy Wife sexting with a certain Dog...

Followed YOUR LINKS AND FOUND SOME REALLY INERESTING LINKS TO BELLY DANCERS AND THE BAND Santeria and the Black Magic Woman.

How do these people ,woman and men in some cases find the time to practice these  what should be Olympic sports ?

 I am most impresses with the dancers, as I was in Hawaii with the kids that did all the others have done but did more.   One has to check out the competitions among the schools in Hawaii for the dance they recreate from the past culture.
