Civility subsection suggestion

[Joods]

I may be wrong here, but it seems like part of what CL wants in a new subforum is to disallow insults entirely. If that’s the case our current rules do not cover that. Yes, we have a flaming rule, but simply calling someone an asshole doesn’t count as flaming.

I see that. But if someone is going to make an underhanded remark towards me, and I can see that it's underhanded, then I'm going to call them out for doing so. If they don't like it, then they should have been nicer in their response to me. That's my right and a huge reason why I love this place. If we're going to become so sensitive to the words others spew that we feel there should be a special section protecting us from such speech, then we need therapy, not a new subsection. 

Furthermore, insults are subjective to the opinions of others. I'm an asshole. I freely admit this. Sometimes I even purposely live up to it. Anyone who has seen the videos I post in Slack with my kids, can vouch for my assholishness. I don't hide that. So to me, calling me an asshole is a compliment, not an insult. It's a fucking word. People shouldn't be so sensitive to being called a name by a person on the internetz that they may never see face to face in real life. That's just childish. If they call you a name, ask yourself:

Is this going to affect me 5 minutes from now? 
Is this going to affect me 5 hours from now?
Is this going to affect me 5 days from now? 
Is this going to affect me 5 weeks from now?
Is this going to affect me 5 months from now?
Is this going to affect me 5 years from now? 

If you answer NO to any of those questions, then it doesn't matter. You go on and you live your life and you don't let someone on the great WWW calling you a name, disrupt your real life.
