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.

I get what you're saying. It has happened to me too. I would not want anyone to be banned over a mishap or 3, that's not my point. My point was when this is all one does on here maybe they should be banned. In other words, the person who is only on here to instigate a reaction by being ignorant toward anyone he opposes. That type of behavior has turned off many from this forum including those of the same politics as his. It's just a shame that we have lost some good posters due to this behavior. I don't blame anyone who reacts to those kind of attacks - my frustration is directed toward the instigator and there is only one that i am alluding to at this point. Hope this makes what I was trying to say more clear and not less.
