I really don't agree. If you want to point out what you believe is a flaw in someone or something, there's a way to say it in a civil way. Take a little time to compose your post. Conversations will be more constructive if people aren't pointing fingers and name calling. Anger and hate get in the way of problem-solving. Do you ever remember a good outcome resulting from a conversation where you were being attacked and your were attacking the other? It's hard sometimes because someone might say something that offends you, makes you mad or hurts you. Personally, I know that at times I've had to take several deep breaths before responding to another poster. I had to really think about the result I wanted from the conversation. If you want a positive result, you can't attack. It's important to be aware of what you're saying, re-read it. Just recently I accidentally slipped something into a post which, in retrospect, probably wasn't very sensitive. I view this site as a good exercise in compassionate, civil communication among other things. I'm not going to knock that.
