We have a Forum User Agreement that says people are free to attack someones ideas but they may not, under any circumstances, attack the person. So folks go wild with incivility on attacking the ideas - they are very passionate after all. If you get attached to your ideas expect to feel attacked.
I personally like being attacked as it forces me to examine my self. If I have a wrong idea I really want to know. Especially if I am very attached to a wrong idea.
And in the end I see incivility as an issue for the one being uncivil. Just because that is the best they can do has no bearing on how I feel about them. I mean, would you expect someone with a broken leg to be able to jog just because you can jog? I think the issue is exactly the same. Waiting for others to behave so you can feel good is guaranteed to leave you miserable, so right off the bat I would question that requirement.
I trust that was civil enough?
And welcome to RatSkep!

Shantanu wrote:Feminism is the idea that the female component of the human species should dictate the terms of the relationship between man and woman in favour of its independence and rejection of the need to submit women to the common cause of humanity. It stems from realising that it is a man’s world in that men make all the major decisions on the direction of humanity in terms of government, business and the professions. It wishes to empower women to take over the running of the world by abandoning women’s traditional role in child bearing and home-making. It abhors the negative aspects of womanhood that prevents the female sex from attaining high positions of power in society. The feminism movement is a resistance movement that wishes to upset the biological evolutionary imperative that the two sexes perform different roles in Nature and are the weaker sex from purely physical strength and stature that enables it to dictate the terms of social interactions. Females are better at multi-tasking so are able to do much more work than men who have evolved to be lazier wanting relaxation and sexual intercourse for which they have a penis which they can thrust into the women’s vagina until sperms are ejaculated, the act tiring them so much that they need rest afterwards.

I describe myself as a Secular Pacifist. Due to an amazing piece of coincidence my parents named me 'Shantanu' which in Hindu-Indian languages means a model of peace (shant=peace; anu=model). I always seem to know how to make the right peace in the different circumstances of daily conflicts in a manner that leaves everyone happy and contented that they have all won. Secular Pacifism is interesting, isnt it? It is the username that I always use because it is my real name.

("...and yet, if one fails to win over one's readers, if conversely one alienates them to the point where they will no longer listen, or ridicule one even, and where the forum then bans one now, then surely one's message, however true and valuable perhaps, has been done a disservice by its presenter who has not seen the nature of those around him..." ventured the goblin, who only hoped that Shintanu could learn from his past mistakes, adding "...I mean unless you wish the same fate to befall you here as the one that befell you back there, how do intend to adjust your message and its presentation to those around you, or do you blame your circumstances for yourself I wonder...", and with that the goblin went back posting in "off topics")
