The act of eating is a service.

[Shin'Ar]

Just my opinion and friendly advice, but many unfriendly situations can easily be avoided by allowing others to gracefully avoid your confrontation when they try to without continuing to seek such confrontation. In other words let it drop when they try to drop it.

And there is a big difference between playful sarcasm and insulting sarcasm so lets try to avoid being insulting even if it is done in sarcasm.

There are many opinion and viewpoints here that are going to clash as the minds behind them express themselves. It is not the expression nor the desire to express that should be stifled, but the unfriendly ways that these are offered. If we speak in respect of each other and use caution in our debates just as we would do if we were doing so in a scholarly professional place, we can avoid much of this defensive standing that is being taken.

if all we have to defend is our thoughts, emotions should not come into the discussion at all. Think before you type. if you realize that you mean to insult or than don't type it.

But I really don't think its necessary to stifle adult intellects in debating their opinions.
