Over time, you may notice a personality or two that you find you get annoyed by. Someone who's thoughts, opinions or delivery don't mesh with yours in any way, shape or form. That might happen in ANY conversational gathering you may partake of.
Sooner or later you will recognize their avatar name (ahead of time) so, if they really get under your skin, you can choose to skip over their posts, or block them from your screen, for your own comfort level.
The administration also provides a flagging option ( red triangle) where by a particular post will be reviewed and dealt with if need be.

Sometimes certain topics will trigger frustration out there.
Sometimes posters aren't looking for civil discourse, they just want to tell others how it should be. Period.
That is diversity. That is the contrast from which new thought springs forth.
Not every child plays nice on the playground, even if they know how to do so.
Be of good cheer. Don't let the turkeys (and some may feel I'm one!) get you down ... and all that kind of stuff. Don't hesitate to post, for there IS much to be enjoyed on this forum.
