I'm talking about politeness and courtesy not name calling. Having a discussion and avoiding snarky comments so this forum doesn't devolve into Twitter or Reddit.

"I assume you have noticed how the majority of the people in the 1/6 "protests" were white, didn't you? "

"You're gonna have to provide more than "could it be," and "perhaps," if you want me to swallow that line."

"Are you actually trying to make that claim or just arguing for the sake of arguing?"

"If you can't deal with that, I'd suggest you avoid internet discussions entirely."

Okay, well, see ya then. None of those are attacks on you in any way. I'd advise you to grow a thicker skin if you want to participate on the internet.

I totally get what you're saying. I'm just pointing out that there are community guidelines here to create civil discourse that is not present on other internet forums.

Yes, which I have followed, thank you.
