It is not Gerard's loss. It is everyone's loss that you feel incapable of civilly and articulately expressing yourself here.

Hoi, If you cannot say it here, I doubt it is reasonable to say it elsewhere

expect to be heard. If you want to polarise between those who are able to express themselves civilly and those that find they cannot., you can go
into
your own little corner and sulk. Strong opinions can be expressed without using strong words. The reason for strong opinions and civil words is to make sure that a message is heard and acted upon. When strong words are in the way of having the message heard, you are indeed talking into a vacuum and if that is on this other platform, then it is your option to be there and consequently not be heard. Thanks, GerardM
Your loss.
