A great debate is one thing...but to call someone a "retard" is a bit too MUCH! I enjoy a great debate as much as the next gal.....
But we should all be RESPECTFUL to one another. Calling one another an "idiot" or "retard" is unacceptable and should be no need of it. This is why it's called an "opinion" and everyone has their rights to theirs. You can disagree with it all you'd like, but that doesn't make it okay to call someone an "idiot" for voicing their opinion.
And I must add, the word "retard" should NEVER be used. It is such a disrespectful word.
Unfortunately, this is a problem that will never be resolved. Maybe not now, that is.
Some are not afraid to voice their opinions and this includes bullying others. I thought that we were all grown adults? It's cool if you're having a simple and friendly debate but when the name calling starts, that is crossing the line.
And to argue on someone's blog is just disrespectful, for one.
And I see that the flag button is still being used for unflagging purposes. I have had to repeat myself many times or maybe you are just not seeing this? I don't know what the case is but please be aware, flagging someone because you do not care for their post is very upsetting for the writer.
FLAGGING is for posts that do not follow Steemit guidelines. Not for the purpose of "disliking" a post.
But anyways, seems as if I'm getting off topic, here.
Let's be respectful with one another. Stop with the name calling. Stop the bullying. These are lessons I teach my 7 year old son. Unfortunately, the lessons are needed here as well.
It's all fun and games until somebody ends up getting flagged and it becomes WAR on STEEMIT.
If that's not embarrassing, I don't know what is.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening!
Your Friend,
