Dear Kaiser Thragmire, there is really no reason to be rude, unfriendly, or altogether lacking in common decency when such behavior has not been warranted. I am not, by nature, a vulgar or spiteful person. I may have the means to fire back when provoked, certainly, but I see little virtue in doing so without good reason. If someone comes at me with hostility, I shall answer accordingly; otherwise, I am perfectly content to leave well enough alone.
There are, ittedly, only a select few upon this site whom I intend to actively confront. I have no interest in needlessly shaming people for their peculiar tastes or interests, provided they are not crossing lines that I find genuinely reprehensible. My attention is reserved for those whom I consider truly vile and deserving of condemnation.
And therein lies the matter: there is no need for needless aggression when none was offered in the first place. Simply because I disapprove of certain things people choose to do here does not mean I must make an enemy of every person who disagrees with me. I am quite capable of disagreeing with someone and still treating them as a fellow human being.
At the end of the day, a little courtesy costs nothing. I would much rather extend it freely and have it returned than spend my time manufacturing quarrels where none need exist.
