RE: "Arguing Without Being A**holes" >>> Civil Discourse ... An Exemplar
It's really sad when you express an opinion and rather than decide to be civil about it people instantly shut you down and whatever you're trying to say is lost in the sea of negativity and people who simply don't want things to change. I've had that happen to me more times than I care to count, and I can understand the end of the people so afraid to show support for that idea in fear of retaliation.
But at least you can show what real civil discourse looks like, and hopefully that will serve as an example for other people as to how they should behave instead of being full of curse words and stupidity.
@sigilmancy,
Thank you for your kind words. There are far more good and decent people on Steemit, and in the world in general, than there are knuckleheads. It's just that the knuckleheads are louder. I have faith in humanity, if not all those that comprise it.

That's right @quillfire. There are far more good and decent people on Steemit than we would suspect with whom we could maintain a civilized conversation most of the time.
However, for those eventual close encounters of the third kind with knuckleheads out there, It will never hurt to also always carry with us in our pockets a good quartz brass knuckle to give away a good session of crystal therapy from time to time. };)
Cheers!! :)
@por500bolos,
That's brilliant! Who came up with that picture? And ..."giving it away" too ... how charitable of you. :-)

Well, just philanthropic and amorous weapons of massive 'construction' from humorous Pinky Cranky Gandalf's. You know? };)
