Region: Right to Life

Even if it did go too far, in a region like this where we're all on the same side on at least one important issue, even if we disagree in other areas, I think an effort at de-escalation rather than escalation would be in order, we're 'neighbors' of sorts here, not enemies.

Mine is based on the argument. I explained to her why I think she is stupid ("No, you moron,...."). I started calling her a moron after she insulted me. In fact, I never called her dumb or a libtard before she made the post. I was not just taking "swings". I thought we were supposed to treat our neighbors with respect. She wasn't.
