On the defensive

Posted on Thu, May 31, 2012 at 3:14 PM

I enjoy reading LTWWB. It's a great outlet for people to let off some steam but it's also an interesting forum to learn about varying sides of issues and debates. Hell, sometimes I change my view on things based on the thought-provoking posts and comments I read on here. That being said, it really irks me that the comment threads are dominated by people who can't seem to make their point with insulting other people and their arguments. Not everyone does this but there are an awful lot of 'regular' commenters out there who go from zero to sixty and absolutely attack people with opinions different from theirs. Do you realize that getting offensive and ignorant causes your actual point to be lost? You know it is possible to have a healthy debate without resulting to rude, profanity-filled commentary. I'm not asking that we all hold hands and sing Kumbaya but a moderate sense of decorum and, I dunno, maturity, would go a long way. —Regular LTWWB Reader
