"I've been receiving hate mail from all over the world," said Palo Alto Councilwoman Judy Kleinberg, who headed the committee that drafted the rules encouraging more politeness. "I've been called a Nazi."

"I've been told I need to be in a straight jacket with a bag over my head."

After all the publicity about the rules, the councilwoman said the measure is unlikely to pass and said she herself may vote against it.
