But it's also an irrelevant thing to the dynamics at GC. On here, you behave in a civilized fashion, and that's what I count.

Ordinarily, yes. But do you see how he throws that civility aside after extended discussions with me, even if I kept up civility on my end the whole time? And have you seen some of his latest attacks on me, totally bereft of civility? Ethan's civility is held together with proverbial spit and wire, and it comes unraveled whenever you hit enough nerves during a discussion with him. His civility is all an act, just like his pretensions to caring about the well-being of kids. It's the status quo and existing authoritarian structures he cares about, plain and simple.
