Sorry, I missed this particular reply earlier.

ORIGINAL: hertz
Just to clarify, I am not asking to be molly-coddled or treated differently to anyone else. What I am asking is whether you think it is OK for some people to be just so damned unpleasant when they find themselves faced with people they disagree with. Personally, I think it's a bit shitty, but hey, that's life, right? We all need to learn to get on with those who find it difficult to relate to others without insulting them or calling them names because that's how people are, and it's unrealistic to see things in any other way.
I think you are looking at this in a different way than I see it. I don't have any control over the way other people behave. (Except for My own submissive.) The only control that I have is in how I conduct Myself. I'm not perfect by any means, but it's perfectly reasonable for Me not to call someone an asshole, for an example. TOS says that I can't do that, so I don't. Other people conduct themselves differently. That's not My decision to make.

Maybe. But the net is still a new part of our world, and as time passes, its importance grows. It isn't that difficult to imagine that for many people, in time, the electronic realm could become as important and real to us as anything else. Can it really be true that electronic relationships are worth less than flesh-and-blood relationships? Can it really be true that the guy who pushes roughly past you at the supermarket is more worthy of your attention and concern than the person who regularly insults you on-line for sport? I have to say I am not convinced. Should the standards of behaviour in the electronic world really be decided by the lowest common denominator?
It has nothing to do with the lowest common denominator. The only qualifying denominator is the person and how they interact with others.
I happen to think there is a scale for online interactions. This alludes very much to My earlier reply to the comment made by Allthatjazz. While Lady Pact is not My authentic name, it absolutely is My scene name and I'm known in the kink community by this name. In this, the comments that I make here on these boards do and have get connected with My life away from the computer. In your case, they do not. They do not touch your life with other people in any way. If they did, I think you would have greater concerns than the impression that has been determined in the Politics and Religion section.
If the way that people are interacting with you is going against TOS, report it and be done. The Mods can't possibly read every comment on every thread to police it. I sincerely believe they have enough on their plate to be able to catch every violation that happens around here. What I would suggest to you is that you do it without announcing such until a Mod can make the determination if you are right or wrong on the matter.
