“...Unfortunately, there are FReepers on both sides that seem to not only disagree with the “other sides” but also antagonize and make the issues personal with insults and threats. A flame war erupts, rendering the thread essentially useless.
Provide references for your positions and argue as politely as possible.
That’s all you can do.”

I’ll bet the 2nd response you get will be insults. ;-) 🤗
I’m experimenting with a script written to work with Safari that allows me to view a web page source, search for text, image, etc, and then jump n number of lines in the page. It’s fairly effective but working out some bugs. I use it to skip over posters considered disrupters, have threatened other posters, etc. It’s saves time scrolling past such posts and has helped readability.
