The title is a quote from another thread, but I felt like the replay deserved its own post since it’s not single topic related.
For me, this or any other Forum, it’s like a live version of Wikipedia, there are great knowledgeable minds hidden behind the user names. There’s always someone closer to the source, have a great knowledge or life experience, willing to share & contribute to the conversation that benefits many. There’s no better place to look for an advice then here. And we’re all grateful for that.
Here, just like in any other Forum out there, people used to express their opinion, regardless if right or wrong. It always was a conversation maker. At the end, all agree to disagree and moved on to newer topic.
Lately, the trend is to come out victorious out of the conversation. It always starts with ridiculing someone and bullying them until they quit posting. Then and only then one feels satisfied.
There are some cases of one being very passionate about something, and perhaps they may not be 100%, it doesn’t matter. It’s different.
To sum it up, expressing believes without repercussions, is like the air that a true Democracy breads. There cannot be one without the other.
Since people’s tolerance toward each other views has changed so much, I can say that the TRUE Democracy we had here is gone. Need to rename it to “Democracy LLC”.
Because Democracy is not only a system, it’s a lifestyle as well.
P.S. I'm no angel myself, I don't always agree with everything, but I'm always trying not to get personal about it. And I have nothing but respect for the individual that reflected with those words used for this thread title.

I'd presume anyone who wasn't enjoying the discourse on some level wouldn't continue to engage in it. An "alert" that you've been quoted doesn't automatically require a reply, especially if you find the comments unpleasant.
