I don't see sarcasm as childish. It is if it's non-stop, but not every now and then. It can actually be quite witty, although I wasn't trying for wit. Call it "boomer hypocrisy", if you want. I most certainly am a boomer and would not want to be anything else. I've appreciated your thoughtful comments, though, Canina.Yes, resorting to sarcasm whilst criticising the maturity level is childish. Seeing as you want to bring ageism and ‘my generation...’ into this, I smell ‘boomer’ hypocrisy. Accountability doesn’t just go for one age group and not the other.
TLR means Too Long; Didn’t Read. Unfortunately it is very common onnforums to receive that sort of response when presenting an argument andnsomeone actually provides a decent chunk of information. It tends to fall on deaf ears. This depends on the board culture and demographic but it would h worth bearing in mind that most people operate under the assumption that others want them to keep communication concise. I have been more often criticised for writing an essay that for constructing a detailed argument, so you have a point there on the quality of discussions going downhill.
I say keep the ‘offensive’ comments upon any case, however so others can see both sides of the argument and draw their own conclusions. Asking for posts to be deleted would be influencing the narrative so I’m against that form of censorship and Agee with you there. Like pretending racist relics of the past didn’t ever exist doesn’t teach anyone any new lessons.
This is not my argument and you are no longer able to engage with OP due to them having you on Ignore, so going to respectfully step away.
