He takes the approach that I am to be assumed to be someone not to dialogue with, but merely to insult. He is on my ignore list because it's clear that a civil dialogue with him is impossible, and quite quickly consists of nothing but insults. Such a dialogue does not interest me. It should also be noted that his strongest disagreements with me are not political, but philosophical.
I don't know if people should be banned if they call someone an idiot, but there's no way that any post can be called "civil" in which you call the other person in the conversation "an idiot."
By the way, thanks a lot for your efforts (I assume that's you, Dan).
It’s me I have to different usernames so I can post about site policy with an official voice but engage in conversation without “pulling rank”, granted right now everyone knows it’s me but that will change.
