No one deserves hurt or verbal abuse based on simple disagreement.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

3. Disagree. When trolls post blatant homophobic shit, they deserve

all that and more.

8. Your opinion. Not mine.

Engaging someone respectfully is one thing, but some of the stuff posted lately by some of these trolls is beyond hateful and beyond inflammatory.

They don't deserve shit from me and they won't get it.

15. And let someone get away with posting homophobic shit here?

Not likely. The mods weren't around when College Liberal posted his swan song, and now he's back. He deserves any shit he gets thrown at him. Starting with Rabrrrrrr's poke at him in his OP.

19. Why give this person that much power, though?

This person apparently has enough control over your and other's emotions in order to get the best of you.

BTW: I do not know much about the specific situation you're referencing.

22. LOL. That's funny.

No one has any control of any of my emotions. But I will not allow someone to post homophobic stuff to members of DU's LGBT community without calling them on it.

Kind of a character flaw, I guess.

It's just a message board, fer cryin' out loud. Do you think my calling someone on their bullshit homophobia causes them to curl up in the corner and die? Not bloody likely.

23. I did debunk his logic

I forgot word for word what I said.....but I launched into a 10minute tirade about the republicans and democrats that left him speechless and drooling. I get really upset when people say that the dems are communists and it really pisses me off. I was firm, but logical.

Of course that belief suggests that any disagreement was just that...simple.

Many self-suggested "simple disagreements" are not that at all. Just sayin'...
