One of my hurdles as an editor is incivility: a deficiency of it in others
and, according to some of them, too much of it in me - or too much
sensitivity. I started a discussion "Where and how to request a Civility
board"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Where_and_how_to_request_a_Civility_board
and there seems to be some strong resistance to the idea.

Disappointingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, the third person to reply
dragged gender into it, with this comment:

    "Besides, the easiest way to avoid being called a cunt is not to act
like one."

I would surely like some feedback - here and there - about this.
