What I'm saying is actually more than that. It's a philosophy of life.
It is true that civility is useful in discourse. It facilitates productive discussion.
I mean, if someone does something you don't like and you say "Hey stupid! Watch it!", the outcome would likely be less positive than if you said "Excuse me, but would you mind..."
But it's more than that. It's... more than that.
