who are respectful. But just as I wouldn't allow anyone to come to my house and start verbally abusing me, I won't allow some (just some) who disagree with me but do so in the most disrespectful and nasty ways. Why put up with that in your cyber life, if you wouldn't do it in your personal life?

That's why I reserved the right to ignore certain individuals...and hey, even Skinner admits he likes using Ignore...
