I get what you are saying, but I think you may want to walk this statement back a bit and clarify. There very much are those actively working toward and personally embodying civility at all times (
@ProfMattFox is the most prominent example I can think of off the top of my head). -
I agree! They just tend not to be the ones who are most vocal about how important 'civility' is.
@ProfMattFox is a beautiful example of someone who embodies kindness without the endless appeals to a formulaic civility that often doesn't exist - Show replies
