Given how many of my posts - where I made no personal comments about anyone whatsoever - have been judged below the threshold of civility (most recently for questioning the G&M's current moderating model which is why I'm even writing here) - it's astonishing to me that someone can get away with referring to the writer of an article as a monster, a disgusting human being, and so forth and not be judged uncivil.  Wow.
