    We’re supposed to be civil to each other, not to public figures.

    For example, you can say Trump stinks, but you shouldn’t accuse another poster of being a shill.

      The rule does not specify to whom we shall be civil. If anything, it says to all people.

        In general, we tolerate harsh words aimed at public figures. If you say something too extreme (calling for harm, etc.), we would delete it.
