I tend to agree with BT on the issue.
I see the word maturity being used here and there in this thread.
What is so mature about cussing out someone you do not agree with? It is possible to get a point across without being rude about it.
BT voiced his opinion in another thread in a respectful manner and was slammed for it. He asked to be treated with the same amount of respect he put foward and was again slammed for it.
Go back and
read his comment that started this mess. He stated his views in a respectful manner and has been shown none in return.
Where is the maturity in a failure to show simple courtesy to a BOTL? I do not care how long someone has been on a particular forum. If someone is being respectful in how they talk to you, respond in kind. If they are less than courteous, give them both barrels.
Maturity is being able to respond to a differing view in the same manner it was given.
