Hmmm, I haven't read every word on this site, but I have never encountered any claim of ownership of the concept of "civility". Would you please provide a link or a quote?
>I simply don't appreciate being called uncivilized should I not meet his standard of owning my emotions and those of everyone who might potentially feel something upon reading what I write.
When were you called "uncivilized"? I'm shocked that this could occur and not be sanctioned. Although perhaps you were extrapolating from a "please be civil" to being called "uncivilized". They are two different structures with two different meanings. The former is a request for a type of behavior and the latter is a characterization.
And this is really about making sure Dr. Bob gets enough sleep? awwwww
