[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 5146840, member: 31734"] Well said indeed, but I still have the opinion you reached the wrong conclusion. You should not feel obligated to give everyone a fair shake or keep forgiving them. The internet holds A LOT of people and some people out there really do have the goal to irritate others (I'm convinced of this, but maybe I'm just a cynic). You definitely should feel no compulsion to listen to their inflaming discourse (and this is a personal viewpoint by each of us, that's why we each have our own ignore lists). I'm reminded of the scene in (I think) [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124298/"]Blast from the Past[/URL] where the main character tries to say hello to everyone on the street. It's obviously impossible to say hello to everyone in a big city, and the analogy that strikes here is that not everyone say hello back. Many ignore him or look at him like he had two noses.
