It is difficult to have conversations here that you can learn from. People cannot state their opposition without being rude or insulting.

@Starcrossed Agree. I've met many interesting, informed people here. As for those people who think that this place is a waste of time, well, no-one is forcing them to stay 🤷

@SumKindaMunster I believe he may be talking more about trolls that deliberately try to interrupt posts and curse people out or call them horrible names, like I was yesterday. But that's people and you have to realize those type are not mature and you never know what they are going through in their lives, yet if it's deliberate, I just don't tolerate it. Life is too short for arguing and attacking people on a personal level and their beliefs. We shall be able to discuss on here like mature adults, whether we agree or not agree, but I see we've not reached that level and that something we really need Improvement on and I hope and pray that will eventually get better. There's no need to ever attack a person's individuality and beliefs. They can still be discussed without personal attack, but some have not learned that yet. Hopefully in the future they will.

@SumKindaMunster To me it’s difficult because I have to explain so much to get them to understand I’m not being rude. Much energy is spent on the defensive and not joining in their emotions before you can even discuss the topic. A certain level of respect and acceptance for another person’s experience would be very helpful.

@LadyGrace Aren’t you doing that with religion?

@MrBrownstone This was not a political post

@Hecate000 Good thing I didn’t say a political party.
