How come you're the only one who needs an explanation of it before it becomes civil? Others may not have understood it, but no one found it uncivil.
At some point in your life, Dr. Bob, you have to say to yourself, "Hmmm. I could be wrong." I believe you have done that a number of times. But the next step is admitting it to the rest of us! You didn't do it when 20 people told you Colin's post was a pun and funny, not a criticism of anyone else, and you should have. You're not doing it now, and you should.
I wish that at some point you would acknowledge the fact that written communication is more complex than what words are used in what order. And if you do acknowledge that, you need to show it.
