Instinctively, by their post history I know where they lean and I take that as a grain of salt.
In my life I've worked with the best in put downs. The military and fire department. If it got to you there you'd be out of work or in jail because of fisticuffs. You have to learn to take it, then dish it out without taking it further than words.
That's all well and good, but do you honestly believe that there is one poster here who can't as you say "take it" without being able to "dish it out"? Really?
I'd sure like to know who it is, because it sure ain't me, Mach, Robert, Fit, you, Paul, Stink, HOD, Fo, Owl #'s, DefConn, JMU, Bizzle, ER, etc.......
And is there really something wrong with civil discussions with differences of opinion and philosophy presented without resorting to name calling and childish put-downs? We can't have discussions about topics without chastising others just because they have a different political lean than us?
Items get reported because folks believe they violate the rules of this site that have been setup by the owner and those he has entrusted to moderate it...at least that's what I do. It's not because my "feelings" are hurt, trust me. I'd much rather reply back with a bunch of insults and put-downs right back at them...but what does that really solve? Most problems in life are never fixed by either ignoring them or physically brawling over them.
