Very likely I have made uncivil remarks of which I am
unaware, but the only uncivil remarks of which I am
aware are my responses to that formulaic pious
proclamation, where someone piously says he would
welcome an explanation of X, and urges me to give an
explanation of X, when the conversation has already
become tediously repetitious and overheated as previous
explanations of X are disregarded.

If I have made other uncivil remarks, as likely I have,
please draw my attention to them, for I am attempting to
maintain civil discourse here, but one's perception of
one's own civility is notoriously unreliable.
