Civility

I made a comment on Facebook this morning concerning civility.  I said that sometimes I find it difficult to be civil.  That was all I said.  I was surprised at the number of responses and the "Likes" that showed up.

I made the comment as a result of a repeated interaction with a person.  This person does not use profanity and does not go around calling people inappropriate names.  The person, however, is a bully.

The person insists upon having the last word in any discussion, whether it be a debate or a discussion about things upon which we agree.  This individual also must engage in "one-upmanship".  Regardless of what others say, this individual must relate an experience that is even better.  It never ends.

So, I made the comment today that sometimes I find it difficult to be civil.  And to my amazement, the person I was discussing "Liked" the comment.

Not a clue.  Not a single clue.

And now the person has even made a comment.  Still not a clue.
