Thanks JVL for keeping up the message here on civility and on the Thursday live streams. Someone once said that anything you tell me while shouting I could have easily heard if you used a calm voice. Once we shout and yell any good point is lost. I think the same holds true for civil public discourse. The moment people resort to name calling, bullying and demonizing, any good message gets destroyed and can be ignored. In fact I think anyone who resorts to that is showing disrespect not only to the listener but to their own argument.
