It's manners I care about. Before you can talk about anything, especially things like politics, you have to agree to be civil- otherwise you aren't really talking. You're posturing; you're fighting, and you're acting out (I am using the generic "you" not a specific you)- but that's not, imo, what meaningful talking is all about. If you disagree you disagree, but I have certain basic expectations for decorum. If they aren't met, we won't be talking. I can't meet all the expectations of others, and I do not expect to chat with people whom I disappoint - I know I often disappoint people who are spoiling for a knock down drag out fight. That's just the way it is. If we won't be talking we won't be talking. While other people may be ok with being talked about (and I think few really are- it is a device used to piss others off)- I am not. If you continue, you won't be hearing from me. It's manners.
