Should one, while posting on tol, be sensitive to the emotional fragility of others and post in such a manner as to be sensitive to their feelings?
and no, i'm not talking about deliberately picking at a sore spot, like a disability or loss in the other poster's past
i'm talking about the normal type of discourse that has been happening on tol for the past fourteen years, where those with bizarre beliefs and behaviors, resistant to gentle language and persuasion, persist in their nonsense
iow, is truthsmacking passe?
