That’s taking it too far. People should be allowed to voice their opinions even if their opinions are not only false but held by an extremely small group of people. But they shouldn’t be free to do it any way. That’s the reason why Polish Youth (and even you) should be restricted from posting in this forum.
On a philosophy forum, the minimum expected is that opinions are related to philosophy.
I’d be quite happy to comply with that. But as it stands there is little philosophy here, and so one tends to write posts in tune with the common ground.
Any attempts I have made to post philosophical questions or to respond with philosophical points have generally be met with abuse.
It seems to me that this post is related to philosophy. Yet, for some reason, you obviously think that it is not. And you made that known after you declared that the person who posted that post is “full of shit”. You didn’t merely say he’s wrong, you said that he is “full of shit”. There’s a subtle but important difference. I don’t think this is an acceptable behavior even if your claim that Gib’s post has nothing to do with philosophy is correct.
He’s not literally full of shit. But figuratively speaking he is full of shit. He is desperate to be banned as he has been elsewhere. I say give him what he wants. The tone and quality of posts on the Forum will be improved. Every time I boot up this page I find myself confronted by crap. Calm and considered posts that I make a ridiculed or ignored. The only way to get your point across on this infected forum is to use the common tongue.
Since this forum has rules of conduct (I assume) then they ought to be applied.
There does not appear to be a single insult in the post you responded to. And he does not even mention you more than one time in any other place outside of that thread.
Where are those insults?
And even if he did insult you on many occasions, does that justify your response? Perhaps to an extent but I am pretty sure not entirely.
