I certainly prefer civil discourse. Some issues become heated, yet there should be a point at which diverging parties simply agree to disagree. I frequent another website that has discussions and forums at least as broad as those presented here at AA, and they have chosen to use a "nanny filter" to BLEEP out many potentially offending profanities. I am somewhat surprised, yet at the same time greatly gladdened that such a filter has not been implemented here.
Free, unedited speech is a wonderful thing. In most instances, I think AA takes a very gentle hand with respect to moderation and censorship - an approach that should be greatly applauded!
That said? It is a fine thing to have an opinion & present it with great gusto! Just please don't stomp on people just for the fun of it.

Hey, civil summa this.......
David, do you agree that going after the messenger instead of the actual message to be part of this civil discourse? THIS, is where the line is to be drawn. To totally disagree with someones opinion is one thing but to pull that person out of the crowd and talk about THAT person rather than the topic is the issue that needs to be 'moderated'
Ideas themselves should be discussed and/or argued. People themselves should not be the focus.
