I do question whether you're being honest when you say you think it's civil to tell someone FU and call them a dickwad, though... or whether you're just saying you think it's civil to try to make a point. I guess if the civility subforum were to exist, and if there would need to be an explicit rule saying "don't call people nasty names and don't cuss them out", so be it I suppose. I just don't think most grown people need to have it explicitly explained to them what it means to keep a discussion civil. If someone pushes the boundaries, I think they would be doing so on purpose.
I am being honest. I feel the word fuck is a valuable part of our language and when used genuinely and appropriately, makes a statement that few other words are able to make as effectively. As for calling people names, let me ask you this. If I said to someone whom I knew to be athiest that I thought what they were saying made them sound like a christian, would I be accusing them of being christian?
