If I see it heading in a negative direction or a lot of redundancy by me or them I just digress all together. I think that is the main culprit - we don't want to listen to each other "AT ALL." If everyone is talking, and no one is listening, then what is the point of speaking in the first place.

I'll listen. I have no problem with listening to other people. But if you're arrogant, crude, or disrespectful in what you say, then people do not have my attention. In the past few weeks, we've had some posters come across that way. For what reason, I have no clue. But thats not a good way to build some foundation for a forum such as this.
