Would make sense since how can you fullfill your role as mod if you have people on ignore.

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.

We have 2 winners. Respect goes a long long way.
It's all good and well being passionate about something you believe in and standing your ground.
But, seeing the other person's point of view and acknowledging it, without name-calling, disrespectful comments, rudeness etc goes even further.
That's called respect.

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.

I would agree with this summation, certain events invite more heated or passionate discussions than other topics, granted.
However, at the end of the day, respect should be across the board, regardless of the topic being discussed.
Another thing i'd like to throw in:
We are all aware of the rules of Subsim in relation to posting banned content, and i won't go into the details of what that entails, we all know.
But for Minors to see the immature and condescending and often rude and personal attacks on members in various posts here wouldn't really be appropriate either would it?
Sure it's not banned content per se, but what sort of an example does that set for the younger people, to come onboard and see this sort of behaviour go on?
I doubt if most of us like that.
And, the reputation of Subsim (being great in my eyes) surely has taken some hits with this sort of Nonsense going on.
Nonsense you say? Yep, it's nonsense.
