Isn't this what is happening when discussions degenerate to every post trying to come up with a better insult than the last?
I apologize if my posts have come across poorly. I'm a MathGeek, not a communications expert. I am working on improvement and appreciate input.
I think we can all do a few things to improve:
1. Stop the insults and stop repeating past transgressions of others. These generate all heat and no light.
2. Take the time to patiently explain once again subtle points that may have been missed by new participants.
3. Be quick to overlook offenses and do not ascribe to malice that which may be attributable to more pure motives.
4. Keep the discourse to facts and do not stoop to judging the motives of others.
