All the wine and cheese offered up at the latest production of Teh Meta Drama has me drunk and nostalgic.
To the soundtrack of dueling banjos I'd like to pay a tribute to a couple of this site's legendary civilists...civilisians...civi....two really civil guys.

In an attempt to engage on the very serious issue...I have met a total lack of respect for the views I have expressed. Indeed no one opposing the view of the site seriously engaged the issue.
All we got was another round of WATB crying about civility and respect. The irony is the total lack of respect shown to the site ethic, its posters and to ME! The irony was the insulting charge of "groupthink" and sucking up" TO ME that was roundly cheered, in an act of GROUPTHINK and sucking up, that was supposed to be in the name of civility.
...
If I think you are a troll, I will say I think you are a troll. I will explain why.
I demand that my dissent be respected. No "groupthink" against me will be allowed. No "sucking up" to those who hate me will be tolerated.
Remember, we are all on the same team. Respect goes a long way. I expect to get it.

The (fillintheblank)'s at Daily Kos are (fillintheblank). This has gone on too long, and it's time someone else does something to fix this problem so I can find something new to complain about.
...
Now, another thing. That thing you're complaining about? What was that again? I can't be bothered to care about what you care about, but if you're really upset, tell us about it in the thread below, which I won't delete.
Then in the comments....

Are you so stupid that you think if one argues A is more important that B that you think they're saying B isn't important at all? Or are you just a dishonest jerkass trying to score a cheap point and employing dishonesty to do it?

How very uncivil!
And you don;t knwo what hypocrisy means, DIMWIT!:
hy·poc·ri·sy Pronunciation (h-pkr-s)
n. pl. hy·poc·ri·sies
1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
2. An act or instance of such falseness.
Indeed, the root of the word makes it clear that it is the profession of FALSE BELIEFS that is the heart of the definition:
Middle English ipocrisie, from Old French, from Late Latin hypocrisis, play-acting, pretense, from Greek hupokrisis, from hupokrnesthai, to play a part, pretend : hupo-, hypo- + krnesthai, to explain, middle voice of krnein, to decide, judge; see krei- in Indo-European roots.]
Your sanctimonious playacting at civility cop was hypocritical. Your abusive words, your lack of reading comprehnsion, your abuisve rating have exposed your prentense. A zero.
Everybody dies alone.

You're an asshole. Period. Any fairminded person can read this thread and see for themselves that you're a jerk with no regard for truth, so I feel no more need to interact with you.

...your lack of integrity and intellectual honesty, two things that are way more important to me than being a "gentleman," and which wipe out any ability for you to meaningfully opine on the nature of scholarship.
Sheesh, you didn't make even a half-hearted effort to defend your dishonesty...

Take away:
Civility is overrated.
Nauseating passive aggressive martyrdom routines are much less entertaining than a well placed "Fuck you asshole!"
