[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4350173, member: 8119"] Bob, Again - understand that there's a multitude of people discussing alternative medical methods. And you come in talking crap, telling them they're wrong, and throwing out demeaning comments. ...And you wonder why people are "ugly" towards you? Seriously? [B]"As I’ve said respect gets respect. "[/B] - Bob Bob, when/how does this process start? Does it always have to start with the 'other' person first? Note that your baseline demeanor is pretty abrasive, so it's no surprise when people come in harsh at you. Your demeanor undermines you, and sets a harsh tone from the beginning. Based on your OSA history, I think you need to expect the 'ugliness' and refrain from more insults. Do you want be continue being the 'uglier' man (metaphorically), or can you be the bigger man? Yes, I am a bit selective. 1) We (You and I) have had our friction in the early covid days. There were multiple times you were very 'ugly' towards me (which was completely unnecessary). During those times, I mostly tried NOT to reply in-kind, maintain a respectful discussion, and NOT escalate the insults. 2) I've had others users that posted mean/pointed comments at me, and I did the same (non-escalation, stay respectful). I expect some emotion in heated discussions. I expect to take some heat when I'm arguing the other point. I take the heat, but I don't try to fan the flames, or agitate/insult the other poster. Usually other posters will post an ugly comment towards me, I try responding in a respectful manner, and the other poster cools their tone.

This is how it works.[/B] YOUR baseline tactic is generally to demean the other poster, call them wrong, toss out insults, ....and then say "respect gets respect. " [insert big eye-roll here]. I give others a benefit of the doubt when they toss out insults. It's usually a infrequent occurrence, and water under the bridge. The discussion continues. YOU use insults as a baseline tactic on a regular basis. Hence, why I tend to focus on you, rather then others. Look, I'm not the "Polite Police". You don't have to listen to me at all.
