Re: oh please.

I’m not sure what Jesus has to do with 80’s teen movies, but you obviously know Jesus better than I do.

Mike, we all know Jesus said "Don't be a dick." I have it on a t-shirt, so it must be true. (I'm pretty sure, however, that he never said 'Fuck civility,' either in or out of context.)

  I thought it was clear in context. I will leave it to you to decide if you want to go back and ferret it out.

      You are demonstrating why the quote needs to be quoted completely, instead of taken out of context in order to make a point.

      But you didn't answer my question - did you really think that I was trying to further make the point, of the quote, when I bolded and enlarged the font.

      Perhaps 'Fuck civility' works better in theory than in practice then, eh, Mike? ; )

        Are you dense? Shouting louder to make a point more salient or attractive is a fool's errand. (I will resist the urge to increase the font or bolding to increase your comprehension of this statement.)

          When one believes their point is made more relevant because of how passionately they increase the font and bolding, the point is already lost.

            Do you really think the idea is going to be made any clearer if you just say it louder or say it over and over again?
