The "Can We Keep it Civil?" Thread

**Gandalf** · 08-13-2019 01:30 AM

To be honest though, I am not looking to argue or debate that topic as I think it has been done a fair bit already, but I think that was a post where I was reasonable, not abusive, and just argued my point as reasonably as I could showing that it can be done. It only descends when someone marches in with a 100 word scrawl starting with 'You are such a racist, elitist scumbag cunt I do not even know where to begin.......'. I sometimes find it difficult to be reasonable in return.

Yes... but this is not one of those threads. For the sake of levity, we'll call it a Safe Space..... LOL.

I know there's a time difference, so we're not all up at the same time. But I'll leave this invitation out there.

Let's see if we're capable of civil conversation.

Give us your grievances, but please do so in a civil fashion. I think we can do that.
