Civility?

Lost in the riddle of a quatrain; Stuck in an elevator between floors.
One focal point in a random world can change your direction:
One step where events converge may alter your perception.

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.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

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!
