The fact that there are people out there arguing over the civility of knocking on a door but not questioning the civility of an account that gets people put in a dangerous spotlight for just being themselves shows that the brain poison is still strong amongst the chattering classOn twitter.com

Knocking on a door is plenty civil, but even if it wasn't: The journalist is neither required, nor should be, civil. Finding the truth & laying it bare on a page while so many forces would prefer if you didn't is an inherently uncivil activity. Good journalism makes people angryPermalink On twitter.com

Civility is just the chains around your neck lovingly polished by the status quo. We do not live in a society that treats us civilly, it does not treat the poor, the sick, or the different with civility. It does not treat the planet w/civility. No one with power is owed civility.Permalink On twitter.com

I'm sick of civility. We're all sick with it. It is the ailment that plagues our news media, not the solution.Permalink On twitter.com
