Uncivility
by Zephyr on Jan.13, 2009, under Society
Why do these conversations always come up when I’m sleeping?
I want my commenters to be uncivil. There is no virtue in politeness when confronted with ignorance, dishonesty, and delusion. I want them to charge in to the heart of the issue and shred the frauds, without hesitation and without faltering over manners. These demands for a false front of civility are one of the strategies used by charlatans who want to mask their lack of substance — oh, yes, it would be so goddamned rude to point out that a huckster is lying to you. I am quite happy that we have a culture of being rude to frauds here.
I wanted to be uncivil, too, but there are just too many comments, now!
PS: Another PZ gem that hits close to home. Is there some sort of mental deformity that makes certain people actually think certain horribad web design is actually, in fact, good? Gotta be the reptile theory…
