If you address what I say, and not something else, as well as explain why; I have no problem if you think something is dumb. If you are just hurling insults to poison the well, or trying to bully others to make yourself feel good, then that is both sad and uncivil.
As to not being offended. That depends. Is it your intention to offend? Are you saying something with the sole purpose to offend? IF I'm offended by facts and reason, then that is on me. If you are saying stuff only to provoke, mock, or ridicule, then I think that would qualify.
And once again, I'm not, nor do I see anyone asking for a safe space. It appears to be just in your imagination. Your point still seems to be on false assumptions, and potions that I did not state nor do I hold. I think that the Prime directive issued a short time ago was good. I applaud the spirit behind it. The problem is that it lacks teeth. I think that the area for civil discussion would be the prime directive enforced.
