Ah, here is the point. I hear you, brother. (Please let me know if I am allowed more than two "Comments"!) [Well okay I will squeeze it in here --- out of, Um civility] Here is what he wrote: "But the reality is that civility seems ..." Martin! You sound like a punk here! I see a direct and catastrophic collision between the two basic semantic components of 'reality' and 'seem.' Reality properly means what "is." What "is" cannot also "seem" to be. Ha ha. I caught you on that one dude!!!!!# (note: !!!!# always means in my writing it is being funny or supposed to be funny. Alternatively: "don't shoot me for writing this") Ackk!!!.....#
As time goes on, we are seeing things move too fast. Ideas I had ten years ago can no longer be repeated because the social context has changed and no one would know what I am talking about. So, kudos to you, Martin, if you can keep on writing in these times. And I would ask you, Martin Edic, to look at my own Substack. I pretty much agree with your views.
I've noticed you don't get many comments, Martin, and I think I know why. You don't interact. Maybe you find mine annoying. I don't know. We pretty much are on the same page about most topics and sometimes it seems you are writing exactly what I have been thinking -- perhaps it has something to do with our demographic being close to the same age and both from Upstate NY (grew up there and lived there most of my life).
Maybe you don't have time to comment. But I think if you interacted, you'd get more comments, that is if you are interested in that.

" Civility means acting civilized, but in looking it up you will find it has variations." I am available for proof reading and editing.
