Fine. Just so long as your definition of civility doesn’t go so far as to attempt to silence those of us with strong opinions, who having lived many decades, are done with stupidity and eager to move it on down the road.
Case in point; President Trump and his ‘mean tweets’ and shorthand descriptive nicknames.

I have never attempted to silence anyone with strong opinions, whether or not I share them. I am kind of surprised you would make that remark to me, for as long as we’ve both been on here commenting. It’s kind of a moot point, because I wouldn’t have the power to silence anyone here anyway, even if I wanted to, which I don’t. But I have certainly been subject to sone rather rude and juvenile name-calling and in a few discussions. I just don’t engage with those people anymore. If a person can’t have a disagreement or difference of opinion without being foul mouthed and making ad hominem attacks, I’m not interested in any discussion with them. That’s all I meant to say with my comment about being civil.
Well you responded to *me* specifically, and didn’t say that you were speaking in more general terms. So it seems kind of natural that I might think the comment was meant for me, and you also used the wording “*your* definition of civility” in your response 🤷♀️ It was at the very least ambiguous. So that’s why I misunderstood, I guess. But thank you for the clarification.
No worries! 🙂 That’s the hard part about commenting online, not having tone of voice or seeing a person’s facial expressions to help with nuances of meaning 🙂 It’s easier to misconstrue a comment.

@Willing- I'm with you on the name calling. It's one reason we stopped watching Hannity.
Watching Hannity “shill” for the death shot stopped me from ever watching him again… 🔥
@GBA- He did? Yikes.
@Anja- have you read Chadwick Moore's book on Tucker? Again....yikes. It's an honest, well written book but....yikes...
@Anja- despite his boyish looks, Tucker's not an angel.
I've heard Tucker assure everyone watching that he has a "past".
@Anja- you should read it. It was well written and gives a great insight into a very talented man. He's just....weird...

I really wasn’t intending to call anyone out specifically. If the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t wear it.

My sincere apologies. My language skills should have led me to say, “…one’s definition of civility.”
