It's understandable to feel that way. But not civil to post that he has no right to be here. IMO.
> I also don't understand how I am making this person feel put down about their opinions, they didn't seem to care about how others feel.
And it's clear that you care about he feels?
> Sorry if I seemed uncivil. I personally thought it was a very civil thing for me to say to that person. Just giving my opinion.
The thing is, not all opinions are "conducive to civic harmony and welfare":

It's fine to vent about most things, but not always about other posters. "It can be therapeutic to express yourself, but this isn't necessarily the place." Best wishes,
