So you're the OP, and this little back-and-forth is probably not the kind of "civility" you were calling for...
You call out the whole site for a lack of civility, then blow up when someone calls out an apparent inconsistency there. They even offered to apologize if you could provide a timestamp that proved them wrong. You snarled. A kind piece of advice: free speech is one thing, but you've made yourself look like a lefty/shill. At very least really insecure and acting like a lefty/shill. All of which will turn off interest in what was actually a valid original point, OP.
This space is about research, news, and specifics, old or new, not snark or petty bitching. Do that stuff on tw/fb.
I am not perfect, but I suggest you turn down the touchy a bit, grow some, and go with the flow. You said your piece, which had good initial response. No need to get all "my precious" over it.
