The best part though is that it gets to be discussed which probably wouldn't happen at the other site. And there is even a chance at resolution.

There's a reason why shows like Jersey Shore are more popular than educational programming... why should this place be any different?chickaree wrote: Well, the worst offenders have declared that they prefer the status quo. It's a shame. I'm sorry Science Chic.

For example; when I see anyone using the term retard or any slanted form of it (libtard, conservitard, etc..) I tend to lose a lot of respect for that person and I find it hard to shake when I read later posts by this person no mater what part of the site they post in.Photo-fish wrote: Just be respectful. What is so hard to understand about that?
I agree completely. Whether I agree with another poster or not, I read what they post. UNLESS they scream the same line over and over and over or use demeaning/derogatory forms. I don't bother reading their posts further across the board because I don't like swimming thru the swill to try and find the gems that might be contained therein.
Regarding being respectful, however, in all honesty, when it comes to VL, all bets are off. lol

You've been verbally abusing me for almost two years now Gramma- I was hoping it would stop one day, but its just getting worse.

That hope of resolution will get you nothing around here, people don't even really see the problem.
Are we really better off talking about something that does not really have a chance to change...or would we have been better off not being allowed to talk about it anyway.
The end result is the same, we have just wasted a lot of time talking about something that won't change. I just cannot believe that the consensus is that no enough people want to talk with respect as to even effectively use the two forums available and the admin does not even really seem to see the difference between the forums, except that I cannot write the word f*** here, but I can make a human feel less than human with ease and have it readily accepted and encouraged.
I think I am just going to give you back what you want, when someone says something I disagree with, I am going to channel and the spirit of 285bound and try and make them feel less than human, that is what is cool and accepted around here. My style has not been well accepted and I am sorry, I will take it down to the average or lower.

Really? Care to re-count that, or would you rather keep throwing out assumptions and generalizations based on your own anecdotal and defaming "evidence"?frogger wrote: those that prefer a respectful conversation have left. lookslike maybe 75 of the top 150 posters have hit the road. do appreciate seeing more moved to the ring. its a start.
