Vexatious debates
There appear to be debate posts that are a source of concern to some participants and this raises the issue of are we here to learn and share information with others or simply disrupt that process
So, is it necessary collectively to act upon vexatious debates and simply resolve to ignore them such that like old news they will simply fade away over time.
Or do we tolerate them in recognition that though they may be causing some angst they have a right participate, in whatever manner that may be.

In a similar vein the Desiderata states:- "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story". However it also goes on to say:- Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Side: Tolerate
