Quote:The first amendment doesn't require people to be respectful to what others say. As I've said several times, the first amendment doesn't protect you from what other people say about what you say.

While this is true, when did it stop being okay to be respectful? In my case I wasn't demeaning to High Score but his response was petty. Telling someone that what they said is bull crap just because they don't agree is childish and shortsighted in my opinion. I guess I'm of the generation or was raised in such a way that that is not how you treat people. You will see me disagree with people here but I won't call people names nor be deliberately hateful.

 

But hey, if people here want to be that way that's on them. I was fine with HS until he said, "Interesting. Has nothing to do with anything we were talking about, but I'm glad you got that off your chest." He didn't want to hear anything I had to say or he might not have seen where I was coming from. Regardless, I don't care. He has his opinion and I have my experiences that I stand by and that's as far as it goes for me when it comes to talking about it with him.
