He didn't accuse anyone of being illiterate. If you don't like his tone, and think it's combative, well you're the one who just called him an idiot out of the blue, so I'm not sure who's standing on the civility high ground here.
Re-read that exchange. Peter12 made a point, his point was dismissed by Duffman as "BS" with a blatant non-sequitur, to which Peter responded by saying "case in point" and asking how dismissing people's views without an actual argument wasn't a problem, to which Duffman responded in turn by outdoing his original non-sequitur by bringing up
pedophilia of all things. As someone else said, "wtf?" And you think Peter's the source of the communication problem in that exchange? That is ridiculous.
There seriously have to be some standards for talking to other people, whether it be on a campus or an internet forum, besides "does this person generally share my political ideology".
Anyway, from a week or two ago, here's yet another noted crazy right-wing spin doctor framing this as a free speech issue and admonishing university students for trying to shelter themselves from ideas that offend them or that they find disagreeable.
