Now that is interesting. 

A post that merely explained that the series of asterisks that Civil Comments replaced in the above long url was the word "r*tarded" was rejected as uncivil. The use of the word was not mine nor the url's but quotation from Donald Trump's. 

I do wonder whether it was fellow commenters who rejected my post, or an a computer algorithm? 

Do big deal, but I don't know Civil Comments responded automatically to certain words.
