This thread is so perfect.  You guys on the left just cannot help but being jackasses to a conservative poster.

You just can't shut yourself up and be civil.  [/quote]

Thank you for modeling civility perfectly: by calling everyone "jackasses".

Jeff,

I presume you've read all the posts in this thread.  I'm not sure why you expect a conservative poster here to be a doormat for the ugliness of the liberal posters.  If you trace my IP address, you know that I am a poster from the right who regularly complains about the uncivil tone in political threads.

I don't become uncivil with people I disagree with until they become that way with me.  When people become offensive I have no problem in calling them jackasses.  You were that way in a thread with me several weeks ago and I stand by the insults I made to you.  You started the insulting comments with me in that thread.

Enough with the sanctimony.      [/quote]

So, what you are saying is that you are not opposed to incivility -- indeed, you proudly engage in it yourself. You are simply opposed to incivility directed at you and people you perceive to be like you.

Do you believe that reacting with name-calling to comments you perceive as insulting will lead to greater civility? I don't think so, myself.
