Geez - your sixth post out of 53 total comments and all feel like someone taking potshots and trying to score cheap points.

Contrary opinion - find what MSW posted and his description to be an attempt at *balance* (he explains a more civil description and interjects it) rather than the George attack attitude and tone.  IMO, there is no comparison between what MSW has written and the George interview. (IMO, your post is an example of lack of civility towards MSW)

Suggest that using your simplistic *civility* measure, one would not be able to analyze, argue, or criticize, period.  That goes too far.  (well, might work for some of your quips or just appeal to REV. John Carr) 

And again - you complain but provide no alternatives or solutions.  Being negative is easy - it is much harder to give examples, document, analyze, and provide actual solutions.
