NW Lynn....The problem with rationalizing uncivil behavior is eventually everything becomes a good reason for uncivil behavior.  Or, even better, when you're a surgeon, such as the uncivil Schwab, and all you have is a surgically sharp scalpel, everything looks like a tempting soft white underbelly that needs to be cut.

From what I've read of your comments, I don't consider you to be "uncivil" at all.  I don't agree with anything you've typed so far but you seem fairly level headed.  The uncivil Schwab?  Not so much.
