If I went to Dave's house and then told him what I can talk to his other visitors about he would have the right to tell me to shut up if it was upsetting his other guests. If I continued he has the right to throw me out. Same applies here. |
Totally agree with the analogy, and the sentiments
The counter is that if Dave, or his family members get all uppity (not suggesting this is the case), and throw everyone out for very little reason, then they end up with no friends.
The watch word for everyone is please respect others here abouts. It is fine to disagree with people, but not to abuse them. It is better to disgaree if you can also back up your viewpoint with well argued reasoning, or with a wealth of experience...however we all have to start somewhere, and rely on the more experienced to show us the way
