< this comment did not meet civility standards > could apply to several sentences in the editorial. For example: 
"Above all, he is perversely self-centred and uninterested in anything that is not about him."

There are at least two solutions.
First apply G&M standards of civility to editorials
Second stop all censoring. Let the readers determine what they want to read. By censoring you delete one element of the character of the writer. That is not in keeping with freedom of the press. But I do not need to tell you this.
