Is anyone capable of this in this forum? Every time I tune in, I am welcomed by egos, people with chips on their shoulders and nerds, so desperate to air own views, they stand on everyone else's heads.
It always sems to break down into insults and personal jibes. A bit like watching politicians 'debate'.

Some of us do our best!
It could be argued that your post is, itself, just a bit of an insult and a jibe...
Originally posted by Sicilian Sausage Yes. Could be argued but it would be a wee bit tenuous. I am just saying what I am seeing, and there you go trying to turn it around.
Sighs
But your post shows why civilized debate is next to impossible, sometimes. Because you, even though well-meaning, still managed to post a rather insulting post, about people not being civilized. I understand it's due to your frustration at folks around here; but now, you should understand why civilized debate is not as easy you make it seem.
I think the only answer is more active moderators. They should give out warnings and delete posts when they start to cross a line.

The people who are capable of adult debate do not attract as many responses. The behavior feeds on itself. There are few restraints on escalation.

Good to know that in my long absence, things haven't changed.
