I understand the concept of civility. However, I must say that I cannot comprehend how a person could actually feel threatened or unsafe from an Internet thread. When someone posts stuff that is of a heated or mildly heated debate nature or just feels strongly about certain things, other people should not feel "threatened" or "unsafe."
Frankly, that sounds crazy...to feel threatened or unsafe from Internet posts.
Short of a direct communication of a threat from the Internet, such as extortion or something of that nature.
thats just how I see it. Man, Im glad I have thicker skin than some of the people on here.

Me thinks some people just are too sensitive and need to grow up.
