Thanks! I was wondering how to do that.

Any problems, just ask. Someone will be glad to help.

"I’m new but I’ve read several posts and the only ones that are rudely uncalled for so far are from those with a little more left leaning viewpoints."

That is merely your own hyper-partisan viewpoint, I have seen Rude, uncalled for comments coming from BOTH sides as well as some that are either self-proclaimed or perhaps ACTUAL centrists. If you were NOT so hyper-partisan, perhaps you would be capable of seeing that it really isn't a one sided problem. As for "uncalled for" rudeness, that is rudeness that can be considered unreasonable, that primarily comes from the right, but it can and does come from anywhere, just mostly from the right side.

I went back through this thread and I suspect the "victim" of which you speak is likely Ginny_Dandy. If you will go look at their posts that "triggered" this "uncalled for rudeness", with an open, reasonable, mind, using logic, you will likely see that their rudeness, while not necessarily "required", it was certainly called for. When one posts such an obviously insane conspiracy theory, it is to be expected. You don't actually believe that some "globalists" want to exterminate the human race, do you? If you do, please enlighten me as to what their motive may be, I fail to see what possible motive they may have. Of course I take a very dim view on CTs. I would much prefer if we keep discussions in the "Main" section of OPP within the realms of reality. There is absolutely NOTHING realistic about this particular CT, some have a hint of possibly being plausible, but not this one. Save your "righteous indignation" for a more worthy cause.



As for, "I wonder why it’s impossible to have a respectful difference of opinion?"

Again, that is NOT an issue isolated to just one party, it too is an issue that spans the political spectrum. Take off those "conservative shades" you are wearing and perhaps you will notice that people from ALL OVER the political spectrum are guilty of being disrespectful when/where there is a difference of opinion. basically, this issue is virtually the same as the previous one located directly above and therefore deserves the same answer as well.



As for, "I find that being willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions is the only way to coexist without unnecessary cruelty."

It would seem obvious to me that you yourself are not even "willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions", if you were, you would see that the issues you blame on the left are not "leftist issues" but rather an issue spread all across the political spectrum. Until you yourself are "willing to consider other’s thoughts and opinions", you can't very well expect others to either, can you?



Onto, "Guessing, I would say you disagree with me wholeheartedly."

Do you really think that making unwarranted assumptions like that is going to garner open discussions into bridging the gap? I think not.



"I just think that everyone deserves simple, respectful, consideration."

If this is so, perhaps you should start by NOT blaming the "other side" for everything. Stop, consider what the other side sees, what they think of what they are seeing, why they may see things a certain way, then you can TRY to discuss your differences. IF you are reasonable, stick to reality, don't lay all the blame on the "other side" seriously consider what the "other side" has to say, "simple, respectful, consideration" should not be a great ask. You must give in same measure as you expect to receive.

Some very "disrespectful" acts to "watch out for", laying all blame on "opposing side", Making unwarranted allegations towards the "other side", expecting the "other side" to make ALL consolations, expecting the "other side" to seriously consider what you have to say while not granting the "other side" the same respect, expecting the "other side" to accept "alternate facts" (fallacies), "alternate reality" (fantasy) or "alternate truths" (lies), every one of those things are ways one shows a lack of respect to their counterparts.

They aren't as stupid as conservatives are. You guys believed every word that came out of Trump's mouth didn't you!

PeterS

You are only reading one side of the thread. I've been on this board long enough to give as good as I get. And I don't disagree with you I just know that the conservatives on this board are so full of bile that no matter how considerate you are they will only spit back in your face...

SSDD

I disagree, there are many conservatives that if you aren't insulting, they won't be either, at least for a while at any rate. I will agree that there are far too many that will be insulting regardless though.

Grugore

Liberals are the rudest people. And they are always accusing conservatives of the same thing. But conservatives do not engage in rudeness or insults. We can't afford to. Because you sorry-ass snowflakes are quick to complain to Admin and get us suspended. I wonder. If you people realized just how pathetic you are, would you even feel embarrassed? I think not. You have no shame.

Darwin's law is a theory!

Noahide Law that was enacted by Bush1 (the same guy who said the New World Order is coming and "we will prevail") signed it into the statutes. FEMA camps are set up with guillotines primarily to behead Christians. I have no doubt they'll use it on other uncooperatives.

SSDD

You do not actually believe your lies, do you?

Grugore

I wasn't lying. I was telling nothing but the truth. Prove me wrong.

Why am I “stupid” for refusing to take the “vaccine”??? Don’t you know that some of us CANNOT take the “vaccine” due to medical conditions?? If I take, it’ll kill me due to my allergic reactions to some of the ingredients. Therefore, you can’t call me stupid jackass!!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Keep dismissing but think enough to make alternative plan as well.. One never knows, especially now...
