It's not a question of sides.
I'm a moderator, and I don't claim to speak for MR as a whole. but I can tell you how I think of it.
Imagine this: you stop into a bar for a drink, and find yourself in the middle of a brawl because a couple of patrons are having a violent disagreement. Is that the sort of thing you
like? Are you likely to leave quickly and not come back because that's not the sort of place you want to be?
So it is with MR forums. Speaking personally, I expect disagreements, even strong ones. I assume the folks who hang out here are grownup, capable of behaving in a civilized manner, and treating others with basic courtesy, even if they
don't agree with them. I don't particularly
care what people believe, or whether disagreements occur. I care a
lot about how they are conducted.
The rest of us aren't interested in watching others have knock-down, drag out fights. There's an ignore function you can use to block seeing posts from users you've decided you can't stand. If you absolutely
must go at some one hammer and tongs, there's a PM you can use to do it privately so the rest of us aren't forced to watch.
You are welcome to hold whatever opinions you like. You are welcome to express them. You are welcome to disagree with the opinions of other posters, and disagree strongly.
You are
not welcome to make the forums places other posters don't want to visit.
