So where would the following response fall?
FU. It might not be your intention, but I think your statements make you sound like a homophobic dickwad. furthermore I find your position to be bigoted and ignorant.
Is that over the line or under the line? Who gets to decide? And if its over the line, how is that dealt with?
Do you think telling someone "FU" and calling them a "homophobic dickwad" is civil?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
