How does it increase uncivil conduct? Compare Wikipedia talk pages with *any* discussion forum or bulletin board.
When aggression exists, [[WP:CIVIL]] does turn it into this snide through-the-teeth aggression. "Thank you for contributing to our project (fuckhead)! We really appreciate your contributions, but we've deleted them all (because you're an idiot). Please read through all our policies before making further contributions (because you're clearly too dense to have absorbed them the first time)."
