> Yeah, civility is (I'm sure you know) "adequate in courtesy and politeness : MANNERLY" and being asked to be civil is labeling me as "uncivil" and that's is name calling, and offends me, especially since the standard of "civility" is subjective to a myriad of things. (cultural relativism, etc)Then you have the option of not posting here.
