You can. Some people seem to be offended with things and certain people fairly often.
As far as moderation goes, if it doesn't break the rules, we leave it alone. Like water off a duck.
The rules don't say you have a right to not be offended. I would tell them to get a thicker skin. However, being offended is not an excuse to start with the personal insults.
(Not you specifically, but people in general)

I can attest to valuable members wanting to leave. I recently had a conversation with someone I'd say contributes more to reasoned discussion than the vast majority of this forum (myself included) not wanting to participate anymore.
I have those conversations as well. That is a big part of why we want to get everyone to settle down.[/quote]

No one has ever reported one of your posts, and I have never read anything 'angry' or abusive from your replies. You debate like a gentleman should, by debating the facts and ignoring the emotions.

Thanks for compliments. This means a lot to me.

I dunno, butchering those quotes sure offended me.

I don't think I can commit to this plea. These times are too dangerous now, with extremists and outright psychopaths running amok everywhere now. It's like the 1920's and 30's all over again, where civility and politeness towards those who deserved to be thrown down a well and then covered over with concrete got away with the worst things humans are capable of simply from far too others refusing to defy them.
BartSimpson @ Tue Oct 30, 2018 9:29 am
It's not a plea, it's the rules you agreed to when you signed up.
And we're simply asking you to refrain from personally insulting the other people on CKA.
That simple.

It's really not that hard to not insult someone personally.

Do what you think you have to do. But if some dimwit takes a shot at me then they're getting it back in spades.

We aren't saying not to respond. Just skip the parts where you question their intelligence, parentage, how much their mother or sister charges per act, etc.. Don't make it personal!

I have an idea. 
How about you Pussy Willows quit being tattletales, pull up your big girl panties, leave the Mod Squad alone and also maybe be more creative with the insults sorta like back in the day.
