I see this sanctimonious B/S is making it's way down south where normal people at least used to be.
Though I hate discourteous people, I feel this has little to do with courtesy.
The people behind these sorts of things are usually the ''do as I say, not as I do'' types. The message actually reads 'don't make waves, we are in charge'.

I don't find anything wrong with the civility movement other than it is a pipe dream of the uninformed. It reminds me of the hippies in the sixties saying "if everyone smoked pot and ran around naked there would be no more wars." It's just as stupid. Tell civility to the thugs in Baltimore or Pol Pot, Hitler, Isis. It's more packaged ********. I think a lot of the people on this board probably live those 25 things but a lot of people do not. Which brings me to the point that some people just need killin.

There's only one that matters.
Treat people the way you want to be treated. End of story.

They do if they have an insecurity complex and have to make themselves feel better than everybody else.

Methinks that their concept of "civility" is analogous with "if you don't agree with us, shut up".

The real and significant problem is when the admirable goal of "civility" bumps up against the freedom of speech, freedom of thought. The latter should always win unless someone is physically harmed otherwise.

I am confident enough in myself to be able to say that I both like civility and would prefer everyone practice civility. It isn't a movement unless you think it is. It is just a word and it has a terrific meaning; polite, civilized, respect. I would not put the bumper sticker on my car, I would not join an organization that had slogans in general. But I have no problems at all saying that I am 100% for civility and would be a very happy camper if it was practiced by pro 2A and anti 2A and folks on any side of any issue.
If someone has an agenda when they use a word, I'm not about to give power to anyone to frame the narrative over that word. Civility is great. Practice it. It is not a word with complexities or nuances associated with its meaning unless you let others make it so.

Civility has no quarrels with or is at odds with any form aof free speech. If folks do not show respect for the right to say and think and express as they wish, then they aren't being civil, and thus, civility no longer applies.

It costs nothing to be nice.
I just wish more people out there would try it.

last time I checked civility was not using your HOA to passive aggressively get your neighbor to pick up after his dog when it shits on your lawn, but instead talking to your neighbor and say hey! can you please either not let your dog shit on my lawn or pick it up? I hate mowing the lawn and having the turd thrown at your house
