and it just keeps escalating untill ppl get banned or ppl start hating each other so yea.. my simple statement of wanting ppl to get along is a constructive idea

You know it doesn't work like that in the real world BF. There are people that will just forever not like each other for whatever reasons whether it be warranted or not. Just saying "let's all get along" is a pipe dream.

The important point, I feel, is that people should be able to express opinions about subject matter, even when their opinions aren't popular, without risking a ban. For example, I believe that feeling fully satisfied with the music discussion here isn't or shouldn't be a requirement for being part of this community.

I understand how some members can get tired of feeling that an individual is often critical of discussions they value; when that happens, I recommend they use the ignore button so that people can more easily co-exist here on MB. I'd rather see many people here with a variety of controversial opinions rather than a few people who all agree.

This is a serious question. Do you use the internet anywhere outside of MB? Post on any other forums or even read through comments on any other sites?
There is a line between having a negative opinion that people disagree with and taking said opinion and constantly repeating it while ignoring everyone else in the process and tooting your own horn.
