Guard dogs serve a useful social function.
While I agree, there's certainly room to be a guard dog, and still be somewhat reasonable.
Hypothetically, but part of being a free society and open community is putting up with weirdos.
I don't mind filtering out those who can't.
For sure. I'm definitely not suggesting some sort of rule to regulate behavior. I've seen where that leads and I'd much rather deal with a dick head than any other option. If I really cared that much, I'd make the adult decision to hit the mute button before I suggested any sort of actions against him.
It is a shame that it comes to that for so many people, because he really knows his shit and can be extremely helpful. It just comes with a high cost.
Knowing his shit doesn't award him a right to be disrespectful to others.
Everyone has the right to be disrespectful to others. That doesn't mean they should.
That doesn't mean they should.
Thanks for articulating it better.
I've already muted him for forever.
I'm positive that the open hostility isn't helping, but at the same time, it's the internet. Thicken up that skin.
