Good, may my warning level rise.
That's one of the most creative euphemisms for a penis that I've ever heard!

Not uncivil. Accurate description of how those books are treated by those who believe in them... they do treat those books like it's magical. And their views really are no more serious than fairy tales, and pretending that they are more serious than fairy tales would just be dishonest.
Referring to such books as "a pile of crap" would be uncivil.
Quote:2. Pointing out to someone that they're being disingenuous, or are incredibly ignorant about a subject they're discussing.
Not uncivil. "Disingenuous" isn't an insult and "ignorant" just means someone needs educating. We're all ignorant of something. Calling someone a "fucktard" or a "moron" or "lying asshole" would be uncivil.
Quote:3. Willfully referring to someone as a gender that they clearly do not identify with.
Extremely rude, uncivil, and at times even bigoted. "I personally believe gender is entirely down to biology... so whilst I wouldn't consider you to be the gender you identify with I'm going to refer to you as the gender you identify with in order to respect your wishes and be courteous" would be civil.
Quote:4. Referring to certain views as nonsense/garbage/rubbish, even while seriously addressing the various points being made.
Not uncivil. "Bullshit" would be though.
