There are too many contentious threads on DU.

It's only polite that we not discuss religion or politics in mixed company.

1. I think there should be WAY more contentious threads.

:evilgrin:

--- hey Man, nice threads!

[tk2kewl]

3. I am not the most eloquent of writers by a long shot.

I suppose I should spend a bit more time developing my thoughts before I unleash them though. :P

4. And there will be a lot more contentiousness if people cannot avoid typos

in their headlines, let alone the body of their message.

7. What are you the spelling police!

:sarcasm: there you go bashing the typographically challenged again!

[kcwayne]

12. Yes I am, and I challenge you to a duel of spell checkers

Internet Explorer
or Microsoft Word?

6. there are productive and counterproductive ways to discuss certain topics

9. We must discuss religion and politics

It is because we have remained silent for too long that such divisions have grown. But as we must discuss them we must also remember to remain civil. Otherwise our dicussions become about how uncivil we are.

[Moochy]

10. The civility has left the building

:(

[TechBear_Seattle]

11. If we were not to talk about religion and politics...

There would be no way we could discuss the Republicans.

I agree with you, however, that we could stand to be more civil in our discussions.
