But you agree that Pani has been respectful in his video dialogue, right? Maybe there's something to that? I mean, it's a shame we can't be respectful just in writing, but maybe the vid makes the individual more "real" and so dialogue is more respectful?
And lest anyone say I'm butt kissing, I'm not defending Pani or anyone specifically. Just defending the right to hold a different view. But I agree, if someone starts off insulting, I suppose he/she gets what they deserve. But it goes too far, at times.
I believe, there are times when a person comes off as disrespectful simply because they don't share a commonly held view. They're immediately looked at as suspect. Conclusions are jumped to, insults are thrown, neg reps are given....why not stop and politely ask why he holds that view - how did he come to that viewpoint?
