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?

It depends on who you're around and the situation (s). For me, my blocks are precious and my stay here is more enjoyable without them. I [i]usually[/i] shy away from shallow content, and like posts with substance. I also like to surround myself with those who are compassionate and understanding. Ones who can joke and not get offended. I watch people carefully and go with my intuition after being too trusting in the past. Self awareness is important too. That's what this place is for me. So in a nutshell, I've made it my own safe space.🧩

@MoonlightLullaby Yes, I hear you too. I'm about the most asocial of people. That explains a lot too, I guess. I like both the shallow and the substance, but when I've been called stupid for being or stating something the beast in me comes out too. I try to control my temper. Doing that very well at times. But you're right and sound like you do have a firmer grip on things here than me. Just don't like this blocking culture either. I've seen posts of people laughing at others who can't see what they're posting any more. Disgusting, well, that was what I felt even if it wasn't about me :-) reminds me of what a former colleague told me last weekend. When people do that one can't trust them any more
