As much as I disagree with warbirds' comment, I see no reason for it to have been deleted. There was nothing "uncivil" about it, it added to the discussion by expressing a not uncommon point of view others could rebut.

Whitewashing reality by pretending that point of view does not exist means there can be no rebuttal, and that is the point of free speech, once a basic principle of liberal society which has been sadly eroded.
