Philippa, you can't judge what's civil on this site by what you say to someone you know well and have an intimate relationship with.
This is a different situation and the civility rules are based on an internet forum with no other signals but words, and on the understanding that people may not know each other well.
If you were talking to someone you met at a party, would you tell them to go stick their head in a toilet? How would you take it if someone you met at a party told you to go stick your head in a toilet?
