Full Version: Not All Problems Unique To Talkback
Gosh, this sounds familiar:
"While we added the reader comments feature to give readers a place to talk, StarNet is still our house. And our editors and staff simply do not want guests who make vulgar, abusive, obscene, defamatory and hateful comments. If you want to live in that kind of neighborhood, go create your own online forum." I just don't understand why people can't debate issues civilly.

This is funny. From an Arizona perspective that is... Tucson's Daily Star used to be called "The Red Star" because of its liberal leanings. Kudos to LOL for putting up with us. For now anyway... (but of course I think that the LNP is offering the forum to keep an eye on us rabble rousers.)

It's the anonymity (sp) until some posters realize that 'some' of the posters are real flesh and blood, some posters will continue to treat others with whom they disagree in an unfortunately disrepectful manner. They may see other posters as the general nemesis due to one issue or another and not consider the other poster as a person but as a subject, an issue, or a barrier of which to overcome. All posters should treat each other with dignity and respect although we disagree, with each other. I'm sure many of these posts would not be here if the posters had to use their real name and identity to post, especially the personal attacks. So think about it next time you post, would you sign your real name to this post? Maybe that would help a little.

Some posters would reply to your face the same they would on this forum. This is the real world, not some made up play land. There are all types of people in the world and this place is no different. It is just a shame that a few always ruin it for everyone else. Guess that is life.
It's really a shame that the few ruin it for the majority. This forum is fun and informative with a fair moderating team. MERRY CHRISTMAS to the
LOL MODERATING TEAM
this is my real name.
Consider our debates 'tame' in comparison to AZCentral:
