    Developmentally stuck

    Why do we have so many adult posters who cannot disagree without anger and even name calling ? To me that's JV mentality that people should be growing out of before HS graduation.
    Sure we all get pissed once in awhile but I'm talking about posters who's go to arguments involve, anger, name calling , the inference that those who disagree with them are of "lower IQ" and condescending tones. With more than a little McCarthyism thrown in.
    Time to grow up for some of our group . There are probably courses on disagreeing without being disagreeable or civility or effective communication out there if people cannot converse without the personal attacks.

    Republicans and Democrats have been in positions of power and influence for so long that they fancy themselves something approaching a God. As a libertarian, I've had to endure their hostility and condescension for years. Both "sides" are guilty of this. They feel entitled to insult and demean people simply for having an unconventional or opposing viewpoint. And, yes, many so-called "adults" seem stuck in their adolescent phase of development, preferring cheap insults to actual debate. As someone who is relatively younger, I must say I am constantly surprised at how lacking in maturity some of these older people can be. In fact, I would say the most mature posters tend to be the youngest ones - Green Arrow, Chloe, William, Adelaide, Ravens Fan, etc. That's pretty damn disgraceful if you ask me.

    Why do so many people demand everyone respect the views of others but them self?

    Perfect example of the kind of sophomoric poster we're talking about.

    I don't answer loaded questions. And virtually all your questions are of the loaded variety.

    Your presence here is beyond toxic. You're everywhere, all the time, and yet you say nothing worth reading. So as long as someone like you is allowed to remain here, there is really no reason to keep Cigar or del or even Bethere away from the forum. You are just as much of a troll as they ever were.

    I asked a simple question. Do I need to repeat it? The fact is, those who complain about the actions of others usually don't include themselves.

    You asked a loaded question, like you always do. You are a troll.
