It does sound like i overreacted, but it's cause i like this forum so much. We are pretty diverse bunch, but most of us are prepared to engage other people and test ourselves and our beliefs. That's what makes this forum great. If you look at the favorite poster thread, a lot of people named posters with diametrically opposite views.
On the other hand, the current internet trend is to isolate yourself from opposing views. You don't try to engage other people, you either try to silence them or ignore them and just repeat what others have said. I see this a lot, especially with younger people. They just throw gifs at each other. It's pointless. You can't learn from that. I would hate to see this forum turns into that.
