For myself......
This is a public forum. IMO, its purpose [in being here] is to allow people to express and exchange ideas and opinions on differing topical subjects. IMO, persons who do not contribute to the open debate on any issue should be warned and then..... ?
What am i going on about ? Someone(1) can present or refer to an incident that has occurred, and invite discussion and debate. But some of the people(2) who appear here, in this forum, clearly are trying to derail any discussion and debate on said topic or issue. Though reasonable arguments and evidences are presented, some(2) will simply denigrate any person(1) who presents a proposition, with which they(2) strongly disagree.
They(2) refuse to engage in 'argument'. [....though they will sometimes utter absurd and wholly unsupported counter statements] They(2) often refuse to try and mount a counter argument, to the argument and evidences already presented. Rather, they(2) will simply engage in verbally denigrating the character of any person(1) who agrees or argues in support of a proposition, with which they(2) disagree.
If those people(2) are simply going to try to disrupt the flow of the debate here, with personal abuse and with absurd and 'distracting' and wholly unsupported statements, then i'd like to see some sanction against them.
If those people(2) want to make a statement, of their opinion/views, i'm happy for them to do that, to the best of their ability.
But if they are going to simply 'interject' in the debate with absurd, and 'distracting' and wholly unsupported statements, then.......... what can be done ?
