You're right, we agree completely. I just looked up civility- and it said "courteous behavior"- ok so far-- then I looked up courteous and it says, behaving with consideration for others.
Obviously there's the rub. How can you advance your argument if you are constantly taking the other person's feelings into consideration.
That's for threads like DAR.
Boxing Rings are for...fair fights where punches may sometimes hurt.

So I will wait for you to say something I can disagree with in a fiery, convicted and totally uncivil way. It could take a while, though, since I usually agree with you.

But I don't think creating a list of sacred cows is going to help.

I may have missed a few posts here in the last few days, but I've not seen anyone make such a suggestion. Please be specific.

who hold nothing sacred
Ah, Steven, there's the rub. The problem is that some people hold some things sacred and are insisting that we should too.
