Whose civility standards are not being met here when a comment is rejected? Who 'measured' the level of civility against those standards and deemed it deficient? 

I rarely comment here. Today, though, I've offered several comments. Some are rejected for not meeting civility standards while others with similar wording are accepted. At the risk of having this comment rejected for incivility, the assessment system seems both arbitrary and juvenile IMHO. (And, of course, my deepest, most abject apology to whoever or whatever is tasked w/assessing civility.
