Neal does not permit two accounts, not even for us. He also doesn't want to censor us as far as expressing ourselves, even though many of us do to varying degrees. You can't ignore moderators, for good reason, even though you may want to.
I have no one on ignore. I don't feel I can or should. I also have to read piles of threads, threads about stuff I could care less about, threads about stuff I strongly disagree with, threads that sometimes make my head hurt.
Everyone has different views, and many people tend to think theirs is the right one, even the only possible one. All of these views are clouded by the person and their make up, and none of them are really true (or false either). Me I believe in trying to respect and understand the other person, even if I think their view point is utterly absurd and I want to scream out at them, how can they possibly think that. But I also find that even in those cases, there often is little bits and pieces I might agree on.
Anyhow, I am questioning if we are going to have to get a little tighter on the rules when it comes to respecting fellow members. I try to give everyone as much room as I can to express themselves, but I think the amount of personal attacks is getting a out of hand right now. I think recent events has a lot to do with this.
