In real life, most groups include a mix of people and they manage to get along just fine.

No, it is more than two people.

The rest of us are here to discuss issues in a discussion forum. Glad you have your safe place - if you don’t like discussion or disagreement, maybe that’s a better place for you than here?

Because literally every post in the religion forum devolves into this, completely derailing all discussion. People nitpicking the meaning of words in other people's posts and completely forgetting what the original topic was.

It's absurd.

To you, maybe. To others, those things are important, and words and definitions matter to have proper comprehension of the points. Why don't you complain about the ad hominem posts instead? Those are truly useless and designed to stymie discussion.

Except when you harass people when they use valid definitions. Then it’s trolling.

Not a lot of that actually happening. Much more whining about harassment than actual harassment.

Just another version of trolling.

Probably even the same troll playing both sides.

No, I am not trolling. Just calling it as I see it.

Right…

Look - I can download imojis!

Wow. Great job “downloading” the “imoji”. Your grandkids must be so proud that you found your way onto the interwebs.
