I think it's a suitable topic for discussion at the next moderator meeting. Maybe they can discuss that while they are on the topic of "how to increase the number of rainbows on Mobileread".

Again, it's not about censorship, or it shouldn't be. It's about treating people with dignity and respect even if you don't agree with their points of view. Too many times I've read posts where people are extremely negative towards my country (USA) or towards my faith (Christian) or even my views on a particularly hot political topic (Global warming). I believe it's human nature to want to defend a position upon which you feel very strongly. The problem is that the people who make such negative and abrasive comments don't first think to themselves how they would feel if someone posted such abrasiveness towards their viewpoints.

There is a regular poster here who VERY obviously has no good will toward the United States. He does not live in my country but feels it is within his rights to bash it every chance he gets. And that's okay. It IS within his rights to speak his mind (at least here in the US you have that right). The problem is there are plenty of posters here who are American and love their country ~ the good and the bad ~ and take great exception to having to read his caustic diatribe. If we were to turn the tables and discuss his country with such negative vitriol, I think it might make him angry, too.

The bottom line: Treat people the way you want them to treat you. It's really very simple.
Thank you for that post! You're comments are always thoughtful, kind, and appreciated.

As we are talking about discussions I think this doesn't apply - even masochists are people - and the intelligent ones do like a good discussion as well.

Yeh, yeh I know, it was meant as a joke.

Which is found in some form in most of our modern religions, and even many secular philosophies. (See? Even this thread just became a discussion of religion!)

And in my opinion, it's a great rule for everyone to follow.


... with the possible exception of masochists.

I am sorry if I offended you. I just feel very strongly about this subject and felt that your comment was too flippy and not constructive at this point in time.

But on the other hand you have demonstrated a point that was tried to make earlier in this thread: if you can dish out, you gotta take as well.

I was not offended Kitti's Cat, I was shamed. And I wasn't demonstrating anything but a juvenile humor.

And I may have reacted a bit harshly - so I apologise as well. Now that we are good, lets have a beer and move on , shall we
