And the point here is not about "fighting with a policeman". The point is that two people often fight with *each other*, and when the police are called, they examine both people and provided there are no bruises or broken bones, they basically tell them to cool it and stay apart.
They don't take them to prison, and they don't exile them from the island.

Oh yeah. And if someone, in real life, goes and starts fighting with a policeman for some reason, well, maybe he's having a bad day, let him go!

Alex, there is nothing "vague" about incivility, you know it when you see it and feel it. And, a person can have as many "bad days" as they want; but on those days they should not be posting on the wiki. Exercise some self-control or take it somewhere else.

"You know it when you see it" - that's vague enough for me!
Often people don't know they're having a bad day, and may respond more harshly than they would normally. Not their fault, it's hum
an nature.
