But honestly. Dill is not all that bad. And if everyone on "both sides" behaved like him, this discussion would not take place.
On the other hand, some that complain the loudest refuse to see the beam in their own eye. In no way do I restrict that verdict to "one side" only [actually it's sad how this always boils down to "sides" in the first place], but nor should anyone else do so or imply so.
I agree with you, Dill is not a major offender. Some of his buddies are and I'm largely calling out his hypocrisy for refusing to even see that in them. There are a very large number of people who either stopped posting entirely or post very little because of the barrage of condescension and smarmy attacks directed at them by two of the major posters on this board. I stopped myself for a while as I was simply growing tired of ti and things have been stressful enough for me of late with a death in the family, buying a house and all of the current unrest. But I've been posting in this subforum longer than both of those posters and I honestly enjoy reading the takes of Bel, yourself, Vas, michaelsean and others. Bfine and I used to be at each others throats but that hasn't been the case for years.
I decided I wasn't going to let three (mainly two) people keep me from interacting with people I've "known" for over a decade. That doesn't mean I'll suffer their insults in silence though, which is the main difference between me and the people who just stop posting or severely curtail how often they post.
