A large number of Iranian users on PDF (or anywhere else) are rational and polite people. Just a while ago we were talking to @ArabianEmpires&Caliphates and what steps we can take to reduce the tensions between iranians and arabs (atleast the ones on this forum, average iranian or arab dont give a crap). Just today i opened this website and i see all the racism and rubbish rants all over again, its like its automated into ones brains, like they can't stay away from hostility.
This inherent lack of trust that has been compounded over centuries is the problem we have in the region. For as long as the Middle Eastern people continue to harbour inherent mistrust, then these situations like you're seeing will persist. As a person, you should always strive to develop unshaken integrity. Meaning you do not flip flop your principles based on who you are talking to. If you do that, then one minute you're pro-something, another day you're against it. The issue for many members here is perhaps they want to go towards a change for the better, but they lack the equanimity to resist the flame baiting of one or two internet users and they go back to square one regarding their views.
