Letter: "Role model" response

I perceive the recent “Role model” input which lists rather ridiculous excuses for liberal writers to submit inputs to the Letters to the Editor section - in which they blame Donald Trump's "nasty communication style" to justify their “lack of civility, along with disrespect, name-calling, sarcasm, and lack of empathy for differing viewpoints” - rather dumb. Are these writers so weak that they are swayed by what they consider to be poisonous words and personality?
