      What you have just seen is called a discussion, (someone presenting views
      that are in opposion to your own. He didn't attack you in any way just your
      ideas. He was not overly harsh in doing so, and made no tries to infer
      anything about you. How is this being uncivil? This is how most
      discussions start one person presents an idea, someone else makes a comment
      either for or against, and hopefully others will join in on one side or the
      other, or even bring up a new point of view entirely.

      I don't see why not, but then I'm not you. It would be one thing if he came
      out and flamed you but he didn't.

      Oh well
