Slojab, may I ask: Personally, do you enjoy either delivering generic insults or do you enjoy receiving them? I am not being snarky. The question is intended to be a serious one.....one in search of a truthful answer.
2nd: There is way more evidence which supports rewards for good behavior (like invoking rules that discourage poor behavior which, in turn, promotes far more civil discourse) than there is evidence which supports rewards for poor behavior.
See "bail reform" and the results therefrom.
Perhaps you may argue I am ignoring the practical, business side of the argument. Exactly the opposite.For those who wish to trash talk online, unfortunately, too many opportunities abound. Many, like myself, are even willing to pay for the experience of civil communication when and wherever possible. We prefer it, muchly.
Thank you.
