I warn you this may necessitate some of you growing thicker skins. That goes for EVERYONE.
I've been here about two years and find this a largely civilized forum. I believe the mods do an outstanding job of applying the forum rules evenly and fairly.
We will always have to deal with a variety of posting styles - some comments are dropped in like a grenade, others designed to derail the conversation. Overall, the members deal well enough with the variety.
Personal insults do cross the line and there are a number of levels of name calling. Again, overall we deal with it. Usually the name calling is called out and dealt with.
I find the claim that the moderators allow hatred or intolerance specious at best. There are numerous views that can be considered hateful or intolerant. Again, we deal with it.
Pax summed it up well - we will all need to grow thicker skins.
