Because people need to know that the steady errosion of "civility" that has taken place in all media venues for the past four decades....

I don't know if "civility" is the word you really mean. I mean the guys aren't being rude to each other; they're not at each other's throats (yet, so to speak); they're being civil to each other in the broad sense of that word.

Perhaps civility may not be the best word...But the issue has nothing to do with rudeness or the like..... It has to do with such things as the vulgarization of manners,the decline of kindness to others, the loss of courtesy, and all the other things that make humanity worthwhile.
