No, but forced manners is unnatural and boring.

It's what comes after the 'but' that counts. You are arguing against civility.

A 24 hour exercise in civility is just that, an exercise. What happens afterward when the exercise is over? The lid comes off and it's business as usual and more. Behavior moderation is done over a period of time and when people truly want and wish to change.

It is boring isn't it?
But we're into the Holiday season now.
As a retired government worker I can tell you that not a helluva lot happens or gets done in government between now and after New Years. So there won't be much to discuss as far as political stuff except to rehash old shit. So it was going to be boring anyway for the at least the next 6 weeks.

The point of the exercise, IMHO, was not to wave a magic wand and everyone becomes nice. The point was to nonetheless do an attitude check and try to be more nice, going forward, affirming the value of civility.

I do not agree with the title of this thread, having visited very many other political sites. Here we have a very small group of people speaking our minds and now for us to practice 'civility', one has to admit that we have been uncivil. I cannot do that.

What? You cannot speak your mind and be civil at the same time?

Not my point, people are either civil or they are not. A 24 hour moratorium is a dumb idea. Look how successful all those ceasefires have been.
Was I civil is expressing this opinion in your opinion?

What has happened to this forum? It seems to be almost dead. It is a pity.
I also reduced my participation here in the last months and years since politicalchat has turned into trumpchat.
It is how it is. I miss the conversation, the political exchange with you intellectual Americans. But I can't stand the quantity of Trump in this forum anymore.
Maybe one day PC will become again the place it was back then - when I joined it in 2013.

I think it has to do with the fact with nobody here is willing to defend the vile Dotard and his ridiculous antics. Accordingly, many here are tired of preaching to the choir.
