Dear Mozilla: Fix Your Damn Browser
My understanding of the "civility" standard is whether I would say it in person. My comments do pass this test.

That's more of a guideline aimed at people who
aren't
assholes in person.

Brilliant judgement you've made of someone you don't know. I'm sure
this
particular instance of incivility will garner you plenty of upvotes, however.

I'm just taking what you said at face value. If you come on HN, act like an asshole, and go on to say you'd behave the same in person, then the inference is pretty obvious, isn't it?
