I don't think I have ever seen you write something uncivil.
Someone once told me that there are three things to consider when making a comment in general:
1. Is it accurate?
2. How will it be received?
3. Is it necessary?
Of course, you must guess as to #2. It takes good "theory of mind" skills. You can often get a rough idea, though, by switch places in the comment to see how you would receive it.
I don't often ask myself the 3 questions. Maybe I should.
