It is a shame. And even though sometimes the nastiness goes both ways, it is always provoked by one.......the same person always starts it. It's like a compulsion that they just can't contain. And then the others chime in with their one-liners, also adding nothing to the discussion. Sigh.......seems that in order for a constructive conversation to go both ways, it begs for a moderator intervention in order to occur.
I don't agree. If you have someone policing the forum, then you do not get honesty. The only way you get real civility is when face to face. But, do you get honesty?

There is nothing on here that says you have to reply or discuss issues with someone that is rude. If you do not like what I say, or think it rude, then don't answer. Sometimes, I get sucked into the TROLL's trap and I strike out defensively in defense. It happens. I am guilty of rude replies. I do not get rude because someone disagrees with me. I get rude when I say something and the poster that does not agree with me makes a rude reply. It takes two to keep a conversation going, so if I allow myself to be sucked into the trap then I can't complain about rude verbiage.
