Considering that you steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that this argument is about civility and politeness and NOT whether an idea is good or bad, it honestly doesn't sound as if you ever really
were listening to me.
But ok, fair enough. I'll let the others speak for themselves.
To refresh everyone's memory, here's the statement Wolf seems to be referencing...

The conflict in this thread didn't start with people saying they didn't like the idea. It started when people began calling other people's ideas and opinions "bad" and "ridiculous".

If this was a misrepresentation of anyone else's position on this issue, please let me know and I will happily and humbly admit I was mistaken, retract my statement, and apologize for overstepping my bounds.
But Wolf, it is somewhat telling that you would single out this one statement in my post among everything else that was said. I'm not sure if this would be labeled as displacement or rationalization, but whatever it is, it's ignoring the gist of the argument... that no one here - save for Markus (who would likely
never do it) - has the right to call someone else's idea "bad" or "ridiculous".
Anyway, feel free to have the last word on this, as I'm closing up shop for the night.
Or - here's a novel concept - maybe we can all just accept one another's right to have our own opinion and leave it there. If you need to use a negative tone to express yourself, it's not like anyone's gonna change your mind.
Just know that any time I happen to notice board members disrespecting other board members, I'm gonna chime in and call them out on it.
