If we would spend as much time looking at ourselves for uncivil acts, I'm sure we'd make huge progress. When we look at ourselves, it's like ripples in a pond. As one person works to be more civil this has an impact on the next person and the next person and the next person. If 80 out of 100 people act courteously, we're going to have a predominantly civil group that will set the tone for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. People who act uncivilly will not be tolerated.
Cultural changes take a long period of time.
And unfortunately, you take two steps forward and somebody gets grumpy, then you move five steps back. And one uncivil act undoes many civil acts. This is not something we can relax about if we're truly on the road to a more civilized environment. We look forward to hearing from you.
