Of course I'm not referring to your use of profanity, but rather the personal attacks you direct at people that don't agree with you.

Except this simply isnt true. This is the most active thread in off topic, fastest growing and 2nd largest. Do you really think after all this time, posts and exchanges that I 'cant handle' opposing opinions? Do you think I ever would have made a political hangout thread thinking id be surrounded by a bunch of people who agree with me? 

Dont confuses ideological disagreement, devils advocay, random shitposting, or even friendly jokes with 'personal attacks' I've been handling discourse not just between me but other members since ive been posting in off-topic. I recently just had a conversation with an australian ethnostatist a few pages back, I'm not sure where you stand on ethnonationalism but I'm not a fan of it, the conversation was respectful, if I couldnt handle discourse that exchanhe never would have happened. 

Your position has been made clear, free market place of ideas and all that dave rubin stuff, but realise that preaching the value of debate to someone who made a debate thread is a tad condescending. Whatever you think of my opinions this thread works, certain members dont post anywhere else on this forum but here. 

But if I am at fault, its not putting in thread guidelines earlier so Id have a reference point to moderate behaviour with, I'll be correcting that now.
