No, I'm often rather uncivil, and often regret it afterwards.

-- But this garbage by Ken is in principle unfit for civil conversation.

Statements of this sort about mental illness, and in particular about those illnesses miscalled "psychoses," cannot form the substance of any conversation among decent people. Your question refers to style, my post referred to substance. There is no possible style which could make Ken's propositions civil.

He has become the third in a select list whose posts I *never* read before deleting.
