@Stacey48 That's where we disagree. There are some people who cannot be reasoned with. There is no "high road" to be taken with someone who believes that there are other citizens who don't have the same rights as every other citizen.

@Stacey48
Exactly.
To replicate their actions and words just brings us a step closer to becoming them.
Replying in kind doesn't work, but merely exacerbates the problem.

@Agamic What would either of you suggest then? If talking and negotiating a peaceful solution doesn't work, then what?

@KKGator

I provide information as I can or as allowed, and if abuse starts, I inform them that we can only continue if they are civil.
I also inform them that, as we're supposed to be adults, act like it, or there is nothing further to discuss.
I won't allow abusive behavior, and I won't contribute to such.
These subjects are much too much for whiney little children, so if that's how they act, I will tell them such and won't engage again until they want to BE adult about it.
