I recall one time of being accused of harassment on FurAffinity by one user when I thought we were just having a harmless debate. At the time, having the 'h' word tossed my way did catch me off guard and did make me frustrated. I mean, harassment is a literal crime and such crimes have intent behind them, which I had none of the sort.
However, at the end of the day, some people can't handle debate and you know what, some people just want to live their life without having to justify every thought they have. And to me, that's fair enough.
In hind sight I feel it this way, if debating someone caused them to use the harassment word in order to try and give themselves comfort, then they're not worth debating in the first place and its best not to waste your time further with them. Let them contribute to the community though their art and other such abilities. Not everyone's a politician and wants to discuss everything ad naseum, and sometimes that is actually a good thing.
