I know, both sides can get after it pretty good sometimes. I never see abuse complaints though. In my personal opinion it seems to be one sided and only serves to censor debate and discussion.

In response to this I've found that the best way for me to respond as soon as someone starts with the "I'm outraged" or "I'm offended" is to stop posting to that person, or thread. I'm sure that is part of what they want to accomplish (stifling debate), but I don't want to miss out on opportunities like this thread where a very interesting argument is being presented and the chance to learn something new is present.

Thanks for your humbling kind words.

Your wisdom is certainly fitting. And I tend to agree on all counts . . . though I probably persist more often longer than I should to engage the spiritually . . . less than transfigured.

DON'T RECALL if I've noted that your exhortations are wise and fitting.

Thanks.
