I have had honest disagreements with peoples positions on many issues. I have also poked fun at some people, mostly in what I hope is understood to be humor. I really do try to keep from labeling people as 'psycho' or 'dumbass' or some other stereotype. In situations where there was a serious potential for a flame war, I have done everything except actually lie to defuse the situation, since I prefer 'no drama'. This has not always worked well.
In the end the Cellar is a reflection of real life. Trying to sort out if one side was being offensive or abusive or the other side was being thin skinned is usually futile and divisive. Sometimes people should just be allowed to argue between themselves without others piling on, even if it's in a public forum.
