I don't think civility on the forum is necessary but it would be an interesting way to talk.
Especially if you just want to get straight to the point of the discussion rather than have a theatrical display of emotions, jokes, mocking and so on.
I don't understand the uproar.
It's not difficult to say what you're saying without adding insults and sarcasm.
I don't mind dealing with insults and sarcasm but in situations where I do just want to deal with an argument it's like you need to sort out all this person's sarcasm, subtract the insults, then reply back.
So really it just takes away the need for editing the post in your own mind before replying.
Unless you want to just call people names and make jokes then you still have the rest of the forum to work on.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
