Okay, I am good with that.
Personally, my attitude is that I will be tolerant to a degree and will make multiple attempts to remain on a civil footing in my discourse, but when confronted by incivility that cannot be remedied by logic and persuasion, other means (including reciprocal incivility) may be forthcoming, depending on the situation.
If I can walk away, I will. But if it means I must cede the platform of discourse to an uncivil person or someone with destructive intent in discussing an important issue, I refuse to do so.
It’s hard responding to uncivil people in a civilized manner.
But most of the time it’s not a debate, and it’s simply a matter of choice.
It’s funnny today listening to Rush say he’s not promoting incivility, in the same breath as he calls Senator Harry Reid “Dingy Harry” and regularly says Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy.
He says I don’t get humor. But I do. I see these are funny, and I laugh. But it’s laughter at the expense of civility.
