Voicing an opinion and attacking a member is two different things (obviously).

Here’s an example:

“Ilya, I don’t agree with you, but you are entitled to your opinion.” = Opinion

“Ilya, you are a fucking idiot and religious people like you are the reason why we have wars, etc. etc. etc.” = attacking ones opinion.

Lately, a lot of the latter has been happening.

Thank you for your post though.
