GZ, I'm sure you appreciate the fact that forums such as SI give us the opportunity to engage in discussions and exchange opposing points of view. There is much that someone can learn from simply getting a different perspective.

Unfortunately, there are those who rather than present a counter argument, they resort to name calling and profanity. They can not support their point of view in a civilized manner so instead they respond with childish verbal abuse. This type of response often times leads to retaliation, making both sides look like idiots.

Remaining silent and ignoring the abuser only seems to provoke the attacks and leads others to believe that the abuser is right.

Please tell me how do you deal with a poster who resorts to calling you a Nazi, Pussy, WOP, DAGO etc just because your question him on his position?

TY
