Why? The other side gets to drown us in attacks and we can't fight back? Sorry moderator your civility warnings are unwarranted and its why people lose these sort of fights. If a Nobel prize winner will get pushed out in England due to being flanked from all sides, while the nice people can't fight back.
- dang 11y agoEveryone always perceives themselves as "fighting back", i.e. sees the other side as the aggressor and oneself as merely defending. Since this bias is shared equally by all, it's guaranteed to produce nothing but escalation unless we develop the ability to be a bit more objective and respectful in our arguing.

Do you honestly believe that it is 'us' who will escalate? Or is it them? Does it look like they're looking for anything else? Look at the egregious response to the essays. Yes, i'm sure we are the ones at fault. I guess i'll stop, but you are wrong in a very plain and ordinary way and I think that request was in poor taste.
