Re: Lack of respect for other people's opinion
I'm a bit stubborn I know
but I do listen to well reasoned posts and have actually changed my mind on several occasions. I know I'm not always right but I will say my opinion whether others like it or not because who knows there may be someone like me reading who can change their mind too. I respect most posters it's unkindness I can't respect and for me you can be as "ist" as you like in your mind as long as you aren't transferring that into unkind actions. Your thoughts are your own not for anyone else to judge.

Is it any surprise that people often dislike your posts, and wonder why you want to be on a discussion forum?

Re: Lack of respect for other people's opinion
I do get annoyed when people talk over me or bang on and on and on about the same thing all the time. I mostly avoid those situations.I'm quite willing to voice my point of view but don't attempt to ever change anyone's mind about anything.
I don't judge people by their opinions either, it is what it is.
