I think it's my duty as a responsible adult to listen, take it and respond with the goal of at least understanding the other person ---and excepting disagreements. Politeness is great ---but we all know that politeness breaks down amongst real friends whose intention is to truely understand each other. I pass up certain threads if I'm not in the mood --- that's enough --self-regulation ---. I think we all can take ourselves too seriously sometimes ---we ain't that important fellas --it's just a damn internet forum (but a rather good one with outstanding members :tu)
