I hope we are mostly pointing out posts with which we have issues. I hope we don't routinely attack the posters, as people do on other threads. I am sorry you feel so uncomfortable with this thread.

If you would like to discuss specifics, rather than just being insulting, let us discuss the "attacks" on a case by case basis. And I can't remember where ignorance was distressing- I think you are inferring the ignorance of the poster from the post- something I would be loathe to do. If you are talking about the bring it on post- I find the post distressing, I have no idea what the poster is personally like. I understand it is difficult for some people to separate a disagreement with ideas, from a personal disagreement- but they are different. If you do not think they are different, you may not be comfortable posting here- and if you confuse attacking people here, with attacking ideas, and begin to attack people, you will be banned.
