also think a good demarcation line between civility and incivility is to debate a point or idea and not the poster. For example, making fun of a certain prominent apologists appearance, to use Kishkumens phrase, seems “puerile and indecent.”

Good point. Although I haven’t seen any references to appearance since the last time it was pointed out that appearance shouldn’t be part of the comments.

What I have seen is midgley speculating that SeN commenters he assumes are not LDS behave like a boy sniffing around an outhouse, hoping for a large load to sniff, or speculating that they were fired from their jobs because of dishonesty, or speculating that they no longer post on the New York Times site because they were caught behaving dishonestly, or speculating that they remain anonymous because they are shamefully hiding terrible truths from their families, or speculating that they studied a ridiculous subject in college, leaving them with a stupid MA, or speculating that when he beat up a (now dead) person in middle school it was because their homosexual leanings warranted it, or speculating that a boy in a car accident crashed because of his sinful use of alcohol and drugs even though the police at the scene told him that was not a warranted assumption, or speculating that .... well, you get the point. Midgley is the epitome of “puerile and indecent.” It should be pointed out, and it’s not uncivil to do so.

Yea. It seems that apologists are better at dishing than receiving.

When I refer to DCP as donut Dan or Krispy Kreme man, i am at minimum poking fun at his weight or at worst I am subtlety but viciously calling out and claiming he is a hypocrite because of his apparent disregard for the Mormon WOW while he calls out others for not being as TBM as he portrays himself.

Honestly i have poked fun at him while at other times claimed he is a hypocrite. often afterward i regret it but have never apologized for it- my bad!
