Apparently I scold. I get told this a lot. Usually I've just said 'Please try to remain civil.' I don't like rudeness.

Sometimes, people think theres a contradiction between my being very in favour of free speech & disliking rudeness but this misses the point

I am very interested in speech & the effects of speech.I read & write quite a lot about effective communication.

Yes, but also mine to go away if they are.

Absolutely. Mine too
