I might start using the centered format for some of my posts.
Oh, I think you know.




I believe I've gathered the gist of it from the replies. While I recognize the value behind your ideas and opinions, most people don't possess the time, mental fortitude, or emotional stability required to perpetually balance the truly progressive platform that you envision. This community is in that sweet spot between obscure and prominent (not small enough to easily enforce but also not large enough to allocate proper moderation for your ideas). 

I don't agree with the archaic mentalities of having "no-no words" or specific "protected groups" (aside from the youngins) as those ideals have only bred subcultures rife with superiority complexes, corruption, and mental dormancy. At the same time, people who go out of their way to legitimately harass other people for seemingly no reason are either immature or just plain shitty. It could be a toss-up to decide which category they belong to, and this indecision in moderation could potentially embolden the trolls or other genuinely toxic people to add fuel to the fire. I would agree with the idea, though, that others need to start handling "dissenting opinions" with less emotion and more class as they are only needlessly adding more immaturity and toxicity into the equation; i.e. less gas, more sand.

You're probably not gonna be able to get through to anyone with walls of text as people are unfortunately more closed-minded than they'd freely admit to when it comes to their personal convictions. You also have to take into consideration the fact that a hefty chunk of the new generation has been trained by social media to fanatically follow a set of Sinai tablets different from the previous generation of religious loonies, but they have just as much mouth froth and can be even more ridiculous to engage with than the ole thumpers.

Godspeed, poopy fellow.
