When I see something on TV, or hear something on the radio that I don't like, or agree with . . . . I change the channel. This forum should be the same. If you disagree with a post/thread, don't participate. No reason that other can't discuss
whatever they want.
We've become too sensitive. It seems like some stay awake at night trying to come up with things that they can be offended by. Looking for their 15 minutes of fame. My true friends and I often disagree on things. They tell me I'm crazy, as do so to them. Nobody gets butt hurt.
An example of different styles of communication:
I went to an advanced sniper school in OK some years back. My partner, and I had been working together for years. Well, after the week was up, the instructors brought up communication between the spotter, and shooter. Apparently, my partner and I had made them nervous. During the stages, we would say this/that in our normal manner.
The instructors turned to us, and described our comms as unique. They said it must work, (we finished #1 & #2) but didn't recommend it for the rest of the class. Come to find out, they had been taking bets on which one of us was going to kill the other. They were sure that we hated each other, and we were to big to get in between if we started fighting. The thing that I found odd was that the lead instructor was a Gulf War I vet, and the other was a Vietnam Sniper with 68 confirmed. I would have thought that they would have been used to it.
At no time did my partner or I realize that they thought we were serious.
My point is, before you get mad at somebody for what you
think they're saying . . . . confirm the content/context. . . .
before decide to hate them.
