i honestly think bro it comes from both sides or whatever side really, certainly many folks stay out of the arguments, if a person posts much in the bdf, theres a good chance theyve been on both sides, the right and wrong. thats just my opinion and obsevation though. I know in the past, i sometimes didnt really take the time to really see exactly the words another was using, responded to rashly, and then realized later, that i sort of added to what they were actually saying in my response. i try really hard now to see just what they have said, no more, no less.
Yeah, we've all been guilty of it. Me especially I'm sure. I have no excuse for it if I do it, just like no one else has. It's one thing to be hardheaded and do it unintentionally, but when your stance has been made crystal clear and the same people still continue to misrepresent you, they should be held accountable for it. If I misrepresent someone and they can show me exactly how, I'm happy to concede. Civility demands this goes both ways though.
