Thor, this is a pretty self-inquisitive take. I just want you to know that I (and could assume that most others) don't feel like you are a negative person to interact with. You've shown the desire to keep it civil and you're generally very good to interact (and disagree with). We're all human and susceptible to mistakes, but I don't ever feel like there's been a general lack of respect from you (or others around here) except for one anomalous individual. You obviously know who that is.

You certainly don't take too much issue with this poster's tone/words. You aren't the only person to take issue with the utter lack of respect this individual treats others with, and it is pretty widely acknowledged and disliked across the message board. I would recommend the mute button. Personally, I never thought I would use it because words don't offend me easily and I have a very high tolerance for others being rude/mean, etc. However, the repetitive loop of arguments that spanned across many threads are what finally convinced me. Every time I interacted with this person it became an endless, repetitive, loop.

- Their take
- Why my dissenting take is wrong
- Actually my dissenting take is wrong because I am dumb, or he/she is better than me... get insulted, idiot.
- How dare you bring the same energy to ME that I have brought to you and others?! Rude af, man.
- I am actually the problem. I am now dumb AND flawed. I need to work on myself, if I am capable of doing so.... (Generally gift wrapped in yet another underhanded personal insult).

I probably did this in a half a dozen threads over the course of 3-4 weeks before I saw that I was having the same conversation, over and over again. It was getting exhausting to deal with (and generally took away from the actual conversation being had in the thread). I had something typed up, I re-read it (like I do just about every post before I hit "post reply"), and just realized that I didn't have to do this. I can just choose to not interact with someone who is unwilling to interact on even ground with me (or anyone else). So for a while I didn't. But the same things happened to other posters in a myriad of different threads involving the same individual. It was inescapable.... eternal, even. I couldn't break the "loop" without using the mute button, and its the only time I've ever been forced into using it in my nearly 12 years posting here.

Do it. Trust me. Its been a vast improvement. You don't realize how little value the words hold until they are gone. I've lost nothing in the way of meaningful interaction on here, and continued enjoying this board for what it is (and what it has always been). A really good place for a bunch of fans to get together and talk/debate Steelers football. One rotten egg can't spoil it, no matter how rotten it is.

Keep doing you, Thor.

If you are going to duck from a poster, please don't comment about them. It is rude and not a good look for you. Thank you.

If any of you were capable of delivering one, that would be meaningful.
