(12,712 posts)So, let's assume that that is the case and your point is made.
Now, why can't they do that? I think having flexibility is strength and it does take discipline. There are various means here that can be used to rectify the problem and the forum has tools for that.
There is the ability to just overlook a comment that you feel is not fitting your criteria or tolerance level. There is the method of skillful responses that involve no falling prey to trolling or traps and yet, still bring your point to the fore.
Have you ever considered that the fact that you are so bothered by certain responses not only inflames a situation but sidetracks your ability to make your points clearly and effectively while saving energy and time?
I really don't see that ideal day when this forum and its contributes will fit your criteria to your liking, but it is fine that you want to point things out like that. I would prefer that people be honest and direct about what they think and then deal with things on a case-by-case basis in lieu of any kinds of unnecessary restrictions or censorship, wouldn't you agree?
