This place

Is this an exclusive club where there's only one type of person that is allowed to say anything or is this a discussion group site? When one stays curteous then only there's indeed discussion possible. When I get into a situation when there's no civility left, like people starting to become abusive verbally and intellectually, then I leave the discussion. When someone tells me that I'm stalking them, well, I ask them to leave my postings alone and I'll do the same to them. How can one actually start off a discussion when there's no possible respect in the first place? No, I'm not having that either. Not blocking nor ignoring. Just doing what I do in the real world. Treating people with respect and whenever needed backing off. So I guess that my question remains. What sort of site is this?

Depends on with whom one connects and comments to, some are definitely courteous, others are threatened and down right rude

@Quimliqer How about those who actually comment to you after a posting?

@val70 Those are the ones after you comment on their post!

@Quimliqer No, I mean simply that I comment to a third person and another comments back to me or over me. Then I prove them wrong by pointing to a past posting of their own. He told me that I was stalking him then. I took it as humor, but no, he was serious. Actually told me to seek help. For what? Proving him wrong? A discussion group isn't counseling and it needs respect of the other, but in a way that not negates the orginal posting or comment when it's actually serious from the start with. Sorry, I'm a bit wound up :-)
