JOLLY MOMMA'

I hate rude, lying people.

I've had friends from every end of the political spectrum, and have NEVER been unable to have a rational, polite discussion with any of them on ANY subject. Browbeating, bullying, namecalling, and other types of personal attacks are a sign of a low class background, which means, no manners or sense of decorum. Low class does NOT mean having no money; since Real southernors pride themselves on being courteous, there is NO EXCUSE for any other type of behavior. Period.

"Calling people out", so to speak, is just another way of saying that you cannot attempt to make a point without seeing that there is another side: in other words, you insist that you are always right, although you may not be, or there may be another side. Rather than being civil, it shows what your character truly is by becoming rude and uncivil, then expressing the view as a 'NEW RULE' that "Civility should not be a restraint on calling people out on their intellectual dishonesty", ignoring even the remotest possibility that you could be wrong or that you are warped by a particular point of view. Such a person, by definititon, shows not only a lack of character and breeding, an inflexibility of thought, a lack of comprehension, but also a knowledge of the weakness of your argument.

When the person attempts to justify such behavior by stating that incivility and rudeness are proper, and accuses the other person of lying, when in fact that is what he himself is doing to some degree, then that person reinforces his lack of character and the basic social graces. There is absolutely no excuse for a grown man to behave that way.

Attitudes such as that have no place in a place like Wikipedia, which is supposed to be nonpartisan and have no point of view, any more than it has a place in polite society.

Such outbursts will NEVER again be tolerated.
