To that I leave to the moderators and the owner if we can't be civil with one another, but for that action to be necessary really, we do have to question our own conduct here, is it how we wish to be portrayed ?
But for people to call for conversation to be stifled, well, that can only mean one thing, people are choosing not to exercise their freedom of choice and cease being involved if they are.
But words, whatever is written up on the internet, it is there for evermore and so searchable and we can be judged for our past actions all too easily, so to close a thread down without an amicable agreement being made or everyone drifting off through lack of interest, their anger spent what we wrote it is still up there, not gone and searchable by those that find reason to search. Something which can affect us in the real world, so it is wise to be nice to each other.
