Lol, civil approach? Funny! It's 21st century. Let us stop pretending like a darn sheep just because innocent people are watching us.
Shit name calling, etc, happens all the time even in our home, even in White House between global political icons with camera facing live for international broadcasting. My goat. What's your point?
That is usually because children are involved. Yes. children. When I lose my shit at home, there is either a child involved or someone is acting like a child.
I love how you compared it to politics. Politics are garbage. That is why we have decentralization. Most of the "political icons" spewing hate at each other that you refer to are acting like children at our expense. Buffoons.
This guy is acting like a child at the expense of the entire community.
"Hey, all the politicians are turning politics into a shit show. Look how well that works. It must be the only way to solve things in the 21st century. I mean, look at how far we've gotten with the war. All in the name of political gain. We must take this approach on STEEMIT and turn it into a shit show"
That kind of approach stems from anger. When people are angry or respond with anger they tend to over react. They act without thought, hastily They lose sight of logical reasoning and all it does is make things worse because they start thinking with their emotions and acting out of spite.
None of this is good in any century. Civility has always been an acceptable social behaviour and I doubt just because you say so that it's suddenly considered ridiculous to ask someone to be civil.
