Well it also says to use common definitions:
civility- civilized conduct especially a: courtesy, politeness b : a polite act or expression
Definition of civilized 
: characteristic of a state of civilization civilized society especially : characterized by taste, refinement, or restraint

ergo,
restraining from trolling flaming and personal attacks. As long as that's all we define that needs restraint, just clearly define civility.

I don't think it's such a big deal, but I'll abide what ever you guys decide, I'm just a guest.

Wait, you don't have to be civil at all. Tongue Nothing has happened yet, and I don't think it will be quite that.

Oh, no worries.  I wouldn’t have mentioned it unless the deed had officially been done. 😃

There is no rule about civility.

There is no spoon. Though if you want to bring one, I don't think anybody would object.

I'm not going to monitor what you do with the spoon. If it's something kinky though, just keep that shit to yourself.

Void disappeared after the big earthquake in New Zealand, didn't he?  Hope he's okay.

ah man so no one's heard from him. I know Vi moved and moved on with life now I should email her. I'm worried now, no departing remarks from void though?

Yes tibs it's been mentioned. And no to the other thought floating around in your head. Seems I still don't have enough restraint to get any work done. I really need to switch to firefox and download that plugin.
