What a pointless trainwreck of a flamewar you started and became uncivil in. That's not cool. Please don't do it again.

My comments were controversial, but they were certainly not instantly uncivil. That's quite an uncharitable reading, given my history on this site. However I clearly did let the conversation go on too long . That was pointless and wrong. Apologies for that.

Ok, I've taken 'instantly' out of my comment above. Please don't become uncivil at all, though, or do any more flamewars here.

It obviously goes beyond the word "instantly." I'm afraid we disagree irreconcilably about the limits of reasonable civil discourse. Your definition of "starting a flamewar" is indistinguishable from "stating an unpopular position."
