I Wish Women Were Ladies and Men Were Gentlemen

Ladies and Gentlemen, from now on, only you will be allowed to remain on my posts. The incivility here has become intolerable to me. Feel free to disagree, but the abusive, the vulgar, and the uncivil will be removed.

Present facts, or present your opinion, but be civil. There is no need for insults, and using ad hominem attacks. Take it upon yourselves to be somewhat decorous in your tone.

My policy has always been that if you can't talk/debate with me without insulting me, you're blocked. I intend to stick to that.

Good for you. I’ve been too tolerant at the cost of my own detriment, but no more. @SW-User

Please send me more blocks. I unblock people to free some up but the newly un-blocked continue to be poopheads. 😣 @Carissimi @SW-User

I’m sorry. Sometimes I do get kinda crass. This makes me stop and think. 🙁

I’ve never known you to be abusive to people. @Keepitsimple

I’m usually not 👍@Carissimi
I am glad somebody said this. And so elegantly too. Even without this pandemic, we are all suffering. Life is full of struggles. How are namecalling and dehumanizing other people going to fix anything? I like a good debate when people start getting emotionally abusive it really bugs bothers me. It's like the time when my mother wanted to do something special for their 25th anniversary, and my father kept insisting it was their 24th. Yeah, cause agreeing on the exact number of years you have been married is more important than the emotional wellbeing of your child! Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Nicely said. @justberniegirl

Amen. Why is being civil difficult? Why, even at my worst, I adhere to tongue-in-cheek wit (or try my damndest). Good post!
Carissimi · F
Thank you. Wit and a little good natured ribbing is fine. God knows we need it, especially now. It’s the mean, and the plain to see abusive, that are not welcome. @CoffeeFirst
If only your wish was granted! :(

They’ll be removed and blocked. I’ve had enough of incivility. It’s out of hand. @abxd12
@Carissimi Yes, it's better to stay out of negativity
Hikingguy · 56-60, M
Amen sister.

I took a 7 month hiatus from here once because I was so tired of the incivility. I think it's gotten a little better since then... but still happens for sure.
Carissimi · F
Did it help? @StarLily
StarLily · 51-55, F
@Carissimi Well it didn't really effect me one way or the other. I was just fed up with rude people so I left.

I wish you luck in this effort, good post.
Carissimi · F
Thank you. @lasergraph
Ingwe · F
I apologise for being a bit wild
Carissimi · F
Were you? I don’t recall. As long as people are civil, and not personally attacking others, but sticking to the topic at hand, then I’m okay with whatever. @Ingwe

Those were days of more refinement, but you know, I don’t care the clothes people wear...well up to a point...it’s their character, and how they conduct themselves that’s more important to me. @badminton

Sounds very fair to me.
