You can be civil and not be nice. Colin Kaepernick is not nice, at least not about cops. But he is civil.

Ellen was nice. It’s not unreasonable to find that wrong.
On that note, let me say something both nice and civil about @conor64. He is admirably consistent about presidential misconduct and US imperial violence overseas, e.g. in Libya. A lot of Dems would like to forget who launched that illegal war. Conor won’t let them.
I like to think that if I met Obama tomorrow, I would be civil but not nice. Obama gets a lot of niceness from a lot of powerful people. A bit of coldness might be refreshing, and indeed obligatory.
