Hello UnkaRitche,
I understand. The transcendence above tit for tat is daunting.
But I would say it is well worthwhile.
I think I am correct about this because I have done it both ways.
Long ago and far away on a different board I once mixed it up with anybody at any level. I had some of the most vile things to say about President George W Bush. I could not stand that man. I unloaded on anyone who would defend him.
A rather remarkable conservative poster took me aside and told me my words would be more effective if I dropped the mean streak and simply focused on the issues.
His words struck me.
I decided to try it.
I think he was right.
Since I don't get into the personal stuff I am forced to put more effort into my posts, do more research, learn more. I am better informed, and better able to argue issues. I now feel like if I were to go back to the shallow name-calling insult contests that I would be lowering myself to President Trump's level. I couldn't respect myself if I did that.
You don't sound like you are ready for that kind of transcendence.
You like music, so do I.
Here is a powerful song that comes to mind:
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

UnkaRitche,
I like Star Trek, too.
The Dixie Chicks are still quite popular. Conservative country fans tried to kill their stardom but were unable to do that. The Dixie Chicks are just too well liked, and their music resonates with too many people.
The Dixie Chicks just completed a world tour in 2016, including many shows in the USA.
Rough estimate is that they earned over $45 million in USA shows alone.

FYI, this is what everyone on JPP thinks of civil debate:

Hello Threedee,
No, I'm not seeing that. Everyone? No. Several? Yes.
It's funny how many people have tried to tell me that nobody is civil here, but I keep managing to have lots of civil discussions every time I visit. Actually, even after filtering out everybody who has flamed on me, there is still way more than I can keep up with here.
I really enjoy having conversations that talk about issues and don't get personal. It's fabulous. And I learn so much. I come here to talk about politics, not enter an insult-fest. Some seem to be so insecure in their beliefs that they have to personally attack others who do not share them. That's really kind of weird and ridiculous. Pretty immature. There sure are a lot of folks who could develop more wisdom out there. I have no control over them. I can do nothing for them except to set an example of how to intellectually discuss politics. I'm really glad and thankful for the many here who are able to leave the trash talk out of it to respectfully discuss ideas and events. If it were not for the good ones, I would not be here.
