I'll see what I can find out.  But it is pretty irritating for me personally.   I pride myself in making strong statement without a personal vendetta.  That a reflection on my life where I have always found more things to like about people than I can find to dislike.   

So to get criticized on the civil rating stinks.   I suspect but do not know, that I tolerate far more conversation that the norm.   I think being committed and even aggressive in your opinions, (if they aren't personal), is what civil conversation needs.

So I ask the RG Staff to clarify just what guideline I'm breaking when it comes to rating the civility of others.    *Which might be done after reading the entire article and the string , not to just give us a truncated statement and the often truncated reply.    

I don't try to figure out why a person, or, the RG does things.  It's easier to just ask them a clarifying question.
