44. strange dictionary
I tried to be civil.

Yeah. Pasting an unsourced quote and representing it as being and meaning something it neither was nor meant, and making unsubstantiated (and, as demonstrated, ultimately false) allegations of malicious motivation against the person who said what was quoted ... and tarring those who support the policy positions of the speaker with the same unfounded and false allegation of malicious motivation ... that's real civil.

The "Benchley bin" sure beats engaging in ACTUAL civil discourse, wherein people speak candidly and straightforwardly, and respond to rebuttals of their allegations and to questions put to them.

By someone's rules of debate, anyhow.
