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?

there are a wide array of personalities and opinions on here. only participate in the discussions that you want. when people become unbearable, either block em, or ignore em.

@YourMomsSecretCrush and font take it too seriously

@YourMomsSecretCrush Yes, I've been told that already. Perhaps it's because I like to protect my precious thoughts written down on here. I like a discussion but no-one likes to be either insulted, mocked or even questioned to his or her level of intelligence. It's a double edge sword. I like to hear different opinions but I thought that showing respect was still a going thing in today's society. I was told something like "on your way professor" which I took with grace, but being told that I'm a stalker on here was a bit too much. Even for me :-)

@SW-User Yes, I know. I'm a bit less anxious now. It gets to me. Just like out right censorship would do to me. Perhaps the media aren't virgins any more but I still like them to be trueful to what they should be doing. Inform and start off thinking :-) sorry, I do think too much
