The most important thing we do here is not using the site as a platform for our personal views but learning how to share our views with others of different mindsets.
That's a bit of a stretch for all of us, I know. That's the point.
It's easy to just lose your head and type out a rant.
It takes some effort to weigh your views against others with different views and to acknowledge their value even though you may strongly disagree.
Threads like this are good for learning these lessons. Watching them evolve, veer toward unacceptability, get nudged back toward increasing respect for others - that's why we are here.
We're here to learn about ourselves and to improve ourselves through dialog.
