Well, there, I didn't even know the comment was gone again. Well, anyhow, it was not uncivil, but some of the posters just rate my comments as uncivil because they don't like my posts regardless, which is, I guess, because they don't like me or anything I think. C'est la...

I think you may be seeing that people are catching posts and liking them when they are re-posted...briefly...before another commenter pretends what they say is uncivil, just like in this situation. It happens a lot. I was never one who didn't like the Civil Comments' approach to the problem of incivility, but I did prefer it when I could comment on the "goodness" of the comment as well as the absolute civility or not--I think it's gone downhill since that time. But, at least, we don't have a blog that reads like Crux used to on weekends especially, which became a cesspool. Nothing works very well, so I guess this works at least for that, which was the real concern at one time.
