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.
It's funny how you say I'm not addressing what you are saying. I mean, all you are saying, up until this post is "nah uh, it's not a safe space" with mo explanation or even defense of it. Even though I repeatedly explained why I think it's exactly that. So I don't know how you would come to the conclusion that I wasn't addressng your point. Other than that it's just forum tripe that gets repeated a lot. It's actually exactly what I'm talking about. You are being offensive and insulting, know it, but masking it by not using curse words. Like saying I'm afraid of debating christians because you want a more censored environment. It doesn't even make sense.
None of which you replied to at all. So way to be a hypocritical cuntball.
Less censoship is always good. And you still are looking for a safe space. Here is an idea: be an adult, and be able to deal with being called names, like an adult
I don't think it is about use curse words either (if it's a part of it, I think that it should be a small part of it certainly with some grace). As for your " safe space", you just seem to keep wanting to repeat and not listen. I can speak for myself thanks!
I truly don't understand your aversion to a civil part of the forum with an emphasis on honest discussion. Perhaps afraid isn't the correct word, but I find the opposition to it humorous.
If you have a particular point that you want addressed, perhaps you should be more civil. Right now, the crap covers anything of value.
