Is this your standard response to a request for civlity?
Definition of civility: derived from the Latin civis, or "citizen," and is also foreshadowed in the word civitas, or the art of government. It can mean, among other things, good breeding, politeness, consideration or courtesy, but may also refer to a "polite act of utterance".
Some of the causes of crude, rude and obnoxious behavior and total lack of respect for others: (a) unruly, shock value of TV; (b) want for attention; (c) anger; (d) lack of good breeding/training.
I'm willing to bet that those who will feign they've never seen the rude, disrespectful, obnoxious and many times out-right lies towards the Mormon faith posted on FR have never had the guts to say in the face of a Mormon the sewage they post on FR. It doesn't take courage to hide behind a keyboard when ridiculing and debasing another's faith.
I'm not particularly pro-Romney; however, I have to believe he must not have enough dirt in the way he lives his life so the attacks on his religion are the grasping of straws.
The truth is it's so easy to attack Mormons knowing the most they'll do to get even is bake you another batch of cookies. My grandmother was an anti-Mormon bigot for the majority of her life. She ranted with as much bile as I've seen on FR. She had Mormon neighbors who were the ones who came to her aid over and over in her declining years. I am forever grateful to those people who are Christlike whether others deem them Christians or not.
Have a lot to do, so I'm off this thread. Wishing you and all the FR crowd the best.
Post them...so we can see exactly what you are referring to.
Applause!! Excellent post!! Ever Onward!!

First let me clear this up for you: I have never claimed that I am not on occasion rude, disrespectful or obnoxious.
Second: what I say or ask about LDS comes directly from my bishop uncle. If I state something that is not true, then he is lying to me.
Third: yes I have said what I say to the face of an LDS.
Fourth: have a good evening.
