I gave up on this site some time ago because of a few people who seemed to attack every post I made as if it were an argument that must be resolved in the most combative way possible.

But about 6 months, I decided to rejoin and vowed to block those who would continue their combative and confrontational responses to my posts.

It’s still the same though. So I’m blocking a few.

Am I wrong?
If I post something it’s to share or even discuss with some civility. I’m not looking to blow my own horn, to prove I’m more intelligent or less well read that anyone else or to one-up anybody.

I do enjoy learning new approaches to many topics and normally I’ll respond to the first or even second confrontational remark with a follow up to explain my view.

By confrontational, I am referring to those who insinuate I’m not very smart. I’m not referring to those who respond with a curt remark (ie. this is BS, this is too simplistic, or the what if’s scenarios offered) I can accept and understand differing of view.

Please help me understand how those of you reading this would respond to affronts like “you are just too ” and equally insulting comments.

Thank you
