Civility seems to be the word of the moment, but I can't blame some for being skeptical of calls from certain quarters to be kind in light of current criminal charges. I mean, it's not like that person who does not need to be named was ever civil in his interactions with those who didn't share his beliefs.
Some of the commenters on the newspaper's website even pledged recently to be civil. Not that it lasted long, as one of the self-proclaimed saner and more broad-minded of the bunch almost immediately started name-calling everyone he didn't like. Anonymous trolls will be anonymous trolls. Sigh.
Still, we should be civil to the uncivil, hard as that can be. That does not mean, however, that wrongs should be overlooked, or even excused.
