What do I want to say?   :-)

Your comment, in most places, would no doubt be deemed uncivil.  Telling someone that he is "a waste of time" is not exactly polite, is it?  

The system?  It is apparent that it is not working all the time.  Not everyone is actually using "polite" discernment. If a snarky post is reviewed by a usually snarky poster, it will get a "civil" rating.  It has become apparent that actually civil comments - on both sides - are deemed uncivil because of disagreement, not presentation.  Have you noticed that some are amazed some statements have been deleted?

So.  That's a short recap of what I want to say.  Aren't you glad you asked??  :-)
