Political Rhetoric: Gone Fascist?

[thatmariolover]

It's not a matter of liking each other, it's a matter of respecting other people on the board. It's about trying to have a civil debate. If you guys would take care of the problem Dylfon wouldn't have had to have spoken out in the first place. We don't magically become exempt to the rules when we have access to the admin forum.

Regardless, this stuff never ends well for the forum so I'll just stop there.

What he said wouldn't have gone the way of "civil debate".

Believe me, it was a complete and outright attack at him. There was no room for being civil in it. It would have blown up within 4 posts.

Neither of them have posted yet, and look how far it's gotten already.

The reason I deleted it was because of respecting people on the board.

Allowing blatent personal attacks to begin, and most likely continue, would not have gotten anyone any sort of respect.

As I've said before, I have no issue with Prof S ignoring me. It in no way stops me from voicing my opinion on any given subject. If he would like to be closed minded and not even have a debate, and let all my points stand with no defense of his own.. that's his own loss.

Prof feels that I created my "own version of reality", and to be honest I think he's done the same for himself. Unfortunately that's part of our human nature.. to read the same thing two different ways. Perception. *shrug*

Well only the calves drink the milk but all bees do eat honey. But it's the honey they make. They'd have no means to carry back honey found elsewhere. Would they even eat honey not from their hive? Someone needs to solve this, stat!

Of course, honey is regurgitated pollen, so perhaps a better comparison would be if a bird would eat random vomit.

I'm going to step in and close this thread for now, which is something I do not like doing.

I do want to say, however, that I think Typhoid made the right decision in editing Dylflon's post, as it was a personal attack, which is against our forum rules, and would not have resulted in a constructive addition to the discussion.

I understand this conversation, in general, aggravated some long-standing issues that I have been aware of for a while. I'm looking into these issues.

Wow, I must have missed something good!
