Thoughts on Civility

From a friend.  I wish other people would realize how important having this is in order to have a good conversation or debate.

Paul Castaneda: Success Coach

Civility. There is a big difference between presenting your reasoned opinions in a public or private exchange of ideas and using words to belittle or insult another. First, you must understand that another's opinions are as valid to them as yours are to you. Second, you must realize that belittling or insulting another says more about you than the person it is being done to. Third, intelligence is not accentuated by verbal cruelty; rather it proves the lack thereof.
