Yes, actually, and I prefer not to be, but it isn't as conducive to civil discourse as one might think. It's like being pristine and proper to a biker or trucker. You aren't communicating with them. They will set you right in a heartbeat. They don't care how nice you are. Nice is subjective.
I'm no angel. What you see is me, and I can be polite, but sometimes, when in Rome. And sometimes the situation calls for a more, shall we say, aggressive disposition. Someone here posted a meme of Jesus chasing out the money changers when I gave a scriptural reference to him as prophetically Prince of Peace. I gave them a kudos. It was a good meme. Not many of those. Jesus chasing the moneychangers with a whip and Elijah insulting the followers of Baal weren't examples of diplomacy.
