Note to Sophia’s Favorite
I do not want to police the tone and politeness of the dialogue here, nor could I if I wanted. I do not have time to read all comments here.
Nonetheless, I do ban people for heckling. You have not, as yet, stepped fully over the line, but you have a toe over it.
When next you feel the impulse to accuse rather than answer someone here asking you a question, or to accuse others of what you are being criticized for doing, or to score rhetorical points by insulting others, please restrain yourself.
Your lecturing, hectoring, and snarling is neither engaging nor entertaining. I would regret banning you, because often you know some tidbit of history or human lore previously unknown to me, and your learning is wide.
But I cannot have you driving away my other guests with your odious habits of speech. Please be more wary and polite. Please avoid obvious logical fallacies, strawman arguments, ad hominem. Please address your fellow guests here as is they are of equal dignity and rank with you.
Be warned.
