Are people here too rude?

[arewethereyet]

No one said you have to change.  You either interact here with the different personalities or you don't.  That's your call.

Start a big long ignore list if that makes you feel better.

If an echo chamber is what you are looking for, this probably isn't it.

Again, it's odd to me that you equate a desire for mutual civility and politeness as an echo chamber

As a mod, can you please ban my account here.  That will remove the temptation for me to continue posting.

I am going to get all uppity here....I am not a mod, I am an admin.  And we usually do not ban or delete people at their request.  If you don't want to post anymore, don't post.  

If we are that tempting, there must be something you like here...j/s.
