Engaging in conversation and open discussions is always good, but there are boundaries. Disseminating misinformation, endorsing conspiracies, or engaging in disrespectful behavior or flat out being obnoxious and slanderous? Not my preference. It's not an issue of free speech; it's akin to verbal assault and suggests a dearth of maturity and education. Besides the US Constitution was not created to grant abusive bully's the right to carry on being hateful and slanderous. I won't entertain such discourse. I respect the people I am conversing with too much to ever treat them in such an abusive and unethical manner.
Just to clarify, when I used "patient" earlier, I intended it as an adjective, not a noun. Kudos to those who responded with intellect and kindness – much appreciated. Allow me to share a brief account: During my time delving into ad illustration in Chicago, my cheap, rundown tiny apartment was adjacent to the L train. Holding a conversation amidst the train passing every few minutes proved challenging at best. Yet, over time, I adeptly tuned it out, treating it as mere background noise. This forum shares a semblance to that. I'll prioritize meaningful conversations, relegating the rest to background hum.
Hats off to the insightful responders. Pleasure meeting you all, and I'm eager for more enriching discussions in the future. Cheers!
