I would rather have a large ignore list than to be repeatedly pestered by nuisance posters.

A lot of them resort to dismiss you in various ways, it is true, but hey, who else will talk to me.Thanks for the welcome. To each his own on using ignore. I have heard enough of the rude to last a lifetime. If someone has to personally attack someone else to make a point? It is an unworthy point. A good point will stand on it's own worth and does not require to be fortified with rudeness.
Yes, I am sorry for putting that in the first person.Thanks for the welcome. To each his own on using ignore. I have heard enough of the rude to last a lifetime.

The quality of debate is the highest here at DP, we have an excellent team of moderators and any post can be reported. Anyone you debate with could end up a moderator so it pays to be polite.
You get fifteen minutes to edit or delete a comment, so it takes some courage if you're a serious debater.

5 minutes to do it with no 'post edited' notification, 20 minutes to edit or delete.I thought it was 20 minutes.
If you feel lucky, but I think you're right, do you read the first page?I thought it was 20 minutes.
Well, I'm glad I see you joko 104.I have a large ignore list. You still see messages if they are quoted and can not put any one on staff on ignore.
I wish you well in that aspiration. You will need a lot of well-wishers I suspect.I like discussing politics and learning in a peaceful and respectful way.
It's OK to disagree. We simply need to do it in a civil way.
Seems odd to come to a forum where you're automatically expecting that.I would rather have a large ignore list than to be repeatedly pestered by nuisance posters.
I have chatted online before. I used to have pride that I had nobody on ignore but then one day I decided being able to say that was not worth it. I decided to take care of myself first and do what I want. And what I want is peaceful posting. I have no problem with disputing a point or differing views. I just have zero interest in all the personal jabs. I'm not going to be dishing them out, and I am not going to be putting up with being somebody's punching bag. I want to talk about politics, express my view, here what others think. It's about the issues, not the posters talking about them.You're welcome.
Did you practice up somewhere to come here?
Good for you. That's fine. I can easily see who is being quoted and simply look past the quote.I have a large ignore list. You still see messages if they are quoted and can not put any one on staff on ignore.
Thanks for the welcome. Looks like some good people here, with good rules on a good site.Welcome to the forum Peacenik. You will find a lot of good posters who are definitely worth discussing politics with, including other progressives. We have the whole range from very conservative to communist here. Many "independent" members are on one side, but not registered with any party. Over time you can figure out what the "undisclosed" people are.
I call myself a liberal because I am farther left on some issues than others.
I think increased disrespect found in online chatting comes with the anonymity. Sort of like the courtesy of drivers. Lack of eye contact?Seems odd to come to a forum where you're automatically expecting that.
Thanks for the welcome.Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, DP has a way of draining civility out of you like a starving vampire.
But you won't miss it after a while.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to some good discussions. I hope I can add to them.Welcome to DP
Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
Thanks for the welcome. Looks like some good people here, with good rules on a good site.
Thanks for the welcome and the tip. I get a good feeling about this place just in seeking a place to express my views and to hear what others have to say about the things that affect us all.looks like some hacker has already messed with your mercedes benz avatar
some subforums, such as middle east and religion, have additional rules unique to those topics. try to become acquainted with them early
