Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

    There is no such thing as suffering damage from a belief. Only physical action causes damage.

    Only the weak minded get outraged over a statement or belief. Nobody can offend you unless you give them the permission and power to offend you. If want protection from reading or hearing things you don’t like, it shows how under developed you are.

    As soon as you go outside, a person can insult you and there’s nothing you can do about it. If you physically attack someone for simply insulting you or mocking you, you are the criminal and it proves you have no self control, you are a delusional narcissist.

      You can actually. somebody verbally assaulting you is a chargable assult offense, physical offense is called battery. You may think sombody isn’t getting hurt but you are removing their right to free travel unmolested. free speech is fine unless you are infringing on anothers right. people who spread hate deserve being blocked. we don’t have time in this short life to deal with hate filled lunatics.

        You’re taking a one dimensional position, viewing it from an emotional perspective vs. what the letter of the law actual says and what isthe standard to cross that threshold. Being high strung you can not make something a criminal offense that you deeply resent.

        If there were no threats or direct intimidation, police don’t respond when it’s only bad words.

          Seems like you are all for being nasty and hateful. I now see why you get blocked, and asked the question about it here. People don’t want to deal with people that promote hate. Exception is other people who are hateful, then you may find long discourse about it.
