When does the race to common decency, consciousness raising discussion and informative discourse begin? Let me know, 'cause I'm in.

I don't always agree with you, but I do certainly agree with that sentiment. I have noted a serious lack of civility throughout SI recently. The angry, the bitter, and the unhinged are showing their teeth and claws. It is as if a widespread psychic disturbance is pandemic at SIberspace.

I think that folks are presently very nervous about the markets. The lack of civility may be the predictive of a market crash. Widespread optimism and a bull market tend to squelch these aggressive impulses.

We'll see.

Sometimes I doubt we will ever put the "civil" back in civil war.
