Hell no. Act respectfully towards others and their right to have an opinion? Sure. But if you expect me to respect the beliefs of a Flat Earther then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'll be respectful in my posts, but I'm certainly not going to pretend that I think their beliefs are worthy of respect.

There comes a point when members of a community forum and their attitudes need to be put in check, be it by means of banning for a few days, or weeks. Being a moderator on other forums. I've found that members that think they do not need to consider what they say because they can supposedly say whatever they want, as it would be their opinion...it is harder for them to realize or learn that they can't just say whatever and expect no consequence. Their opinion and ideal freedom to say whatever they want, it does not mean they can actually do so. Why is this concept so foreign to people?

I will not be shy about making it known that this is directed at Soulflower. Having had discussions with her, however only two times so far. It is evident that she is convinced and cannot be persuaded otherwise, that her opinions are the only facts. I've observed several of her debates with other forum members. Someone disagrees, Soulflower starts throwing so called facts around, accusing others of belittling her or looking down on her, insisting all these things over whoever she is having a disagreement with. This is not someone I care to talk with. Bullheaded, know it all.

This statement toward her is a direct consequence of her attitude toward others, other forum members opinions or views on things. It really irks me and for the life of me, I cannot bring myself to just let her rampage all over the forum, derailing conversations in to so called personal attacks on her and the ideals she believes. How could I be wrong about anything I've addressed in this post of her when so many others voice the same things, and she dismisses them claiming they're untrue, while repeatedly doing exactly what people are saying she does. What more proof do I need?

I am sorry Soulflower. But if you can't deal with what people may or may not say about the opinions you voice. Keep them to yourself. It's no fun having a debby downer. It is beyond irritating having someone like you throw a fit when someone says you're wrong about something.

This concludes my rant. Anything directed at me by Soulflower will be ignored. Couldn't keep this to myself any longer. I want a forum where I can discuss things peacefully and rationally.

I respect your right to your opinions, but I think that everything you have every thought is worthy only of contempt.

For the record, I haven't been all that impressed by what I've heard of The Black Keys either.
