I Want To Talk About Community

Sadly, it seems to be a fact that people cannot publicly debate issues with civility.
When a person disagrees with someone, the individual immediately defaults to the belief that the person must hate them or is stupid.
No, the person can still like and respect you but have a different opinion and not be stupid.
This attitude causes division, anger and tribalism.
It hinders hope of meaningful progress with many issues.
Please, for the sake of sanity, can we discuss topics with respect for each others diverse thoughts and opinions?
Have your say, put your case without vitriol and the world will be a nicer, more understanding place.
Screaming, mocking and vilifying contrary people does not help or support your argument.
Please people, we can do better馃檪

On the whole I think most post I see manage to keep it within reasonable bounds but it can be difficult at times especially when you're young, emotions are high, or messages haven't been communicated as clearly as they might have been.

I agree 100% it saddens me when it's clear I'm always right and they are wrong it results in name calling and insults
Just a few hrs ago I had to block somebody as I got called a lowlife and I was clearly in the right

@ExtremeNext People can put their case, listen to the other side, then let it go. Why do people always need to win a discussion/argument?
Learning to let things go is much less stressful.
The longer an argument goes, the more vitriolic it becomes.
