Are people here too rude?

[FrustratedFool]

My personal feeling is that too many are too uncivil, and that this hinders profitable discussions and results in less activity and fewer members.

Does anyone agree?

"Sometimes" should be an option too, imo. I agree that some people are unnecessarily rude, myself included. I try to be my better self but do indeed fall short at times. Other times, rudeness on my part is deserved imo. I am not kind to assholes, and make no apologies for it.

Hoomans suck.


And not in the good way.

I agree that is probably your personal feeling.

I'm never rude, now, fuck off!

On a tangential question, as it seems the preferred way of communicating on this forum is to be insulting, dismissive, aggressive, and hounding, should someone such as myself be better served forgetting the restrained and dispassionate civil posting style, and just play the same game as the majority?

In other words, rather than posting as I do, would it be better thought of here if I just called people cunts etc?

People can be rude all they want. It's about how you respond to it.

I don't think that people here are rude but that there are lots of (religious) trolls that piss people off with their noise or, should I say, non-conversation.

For example, I have noticed a trick that some freshly registered religious people do and that is to accuse moderators of banning people just because they are Christians, and then they go on and troll much longer than if they haven't made that accusation. Indeed, some religious trolls survive here for years despite complaints about their disgusting behavior, like it was with Drich.

The other thing is that people use this place to vent their daily frustrations with religious people in real life. Just look at what Christian Nationalists are doing in the US on a daily basis.
