Name calling and aggressiveness

Please stop to call you names, or to disparage each other even when you disagree !

It really spoils the fun … And it does not help to progress in the exchanges.

Hmm. I let some of the minor offenses go, like “stupid”, especially if it is someone who is usually contributing. It’s not just words, it’s the pattern. There is a “report” button. I don’t read every post. It’s anonymous.

No reproach intended, i am moderator other were and i know what it entails.

It was just a call to people to tune down some of their messages .

Hello everyone,

I have not posted for weeks, being very busy in my real life. 

But there is another reason, the way this forum is turning. 

I sum up after a fast reading. I am sure I forget many things but I give my feelings.   

2 or three people think that USA are the epitome of evil. Others while denying it, even conscious that other parties play their parts, try to fight them.

Each party has its arguments. Not wanting to feed the trolls, and start a new bonfire, I will not give my opinion here.

I think that theses exchanges have become senseless and hopeless.

Please, could we not close these topics and move to other topics ?

We do ban the worst offenders. We do our best to be fair.

I appreciate your feedback. I hope the offensive members read this.

Welcome back, morgankane. Maybe sanity will return with you.

If you wish to start a thread on something that interests you, please feel free.

Thanks very much to both of you

I am wondering why, nowadays, whatever be the topic, it degenerates in a shouting match about Ukraine, Nazism, deep state and the wrongs of west.

It is indicative of party leadership. Just look at who is doing all the shouting of “voter fraud” .
It is the people who actually attempted to commit voter fraud!

Trump is a classical example of a Machiavellian dictator.

What Is the Dark Triad Personality?

The dark triad refers to three personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Here’s how to identify whether someone has one or more…

Because we have been sucked into the vortex that keeps us arguing, while the rich keep exploiting the diminishing resources. People want something simple to blame, and social media helps fan the flames.

I would close any topic related to the Israel-Palestine situation.

Each party repeats the same ideas, and totally ignore the moderates who try to make a point or give an historical information.

And the mood of the forum is largely spoiled like that. too many names calling and agressiveness.

It’s not easy to catch everyone who violates the rules and sometimes we just have to warn the worst offenders, as Lausten stated.

I know, i am a moderator in other places. I don’t envy your job.

Sometimes I don’t envy my job and there are days I wonder why I continue, then I remember I do it because I want the forum to continue.
