I think the whole civility thing is an experiment of sorts. Are we teachable? Would we change our manner of communication? Would we become better people? Obviously, Dr. Hsiung has concluded that it has had positive results. It is hard not to acknowledge, though, that people do show more respect for each other than before the advent of enforceable rules of civility.
All I can say is that something doesn't feel right to me right now.
An interesting experiment would be to announce a moratorium on the enforcement of the rules of civility for a few months and see what happens.
