Yeah, exactly. I hate the latter, and I feel compelled to either argue with or make fun of those people (in a perfect world, both at the same time!). I know it's not really helpful or constructive, but it makes me feel slightly better about the soulless desolation that is my existence, so whaddaya gonna do?
I have no problem with people making arguments or posting opinions that are different from mine, even opposite of mine, as long as they communicate in a reasonable manner. It's not the specific points that people are making that put a bee in my bonnet, it's when they use some kind of bullshit RHETORIC (most of which is naked hyperbole at best).


Totally agree with both of you. Please give constructive criticism and advocate for things I don't want or like. I'm totally cool with it. But be a douche about it and may get "inflammatory".

They are being noticed and for the wrong reasons. Kindly desist.

We both have to do what we feel is right. I try to not do personal attacks. I also believe in conflict resolution by forcing things to come to a head and challenging their BS. There have been a few adversarial threads where we ended up agreeing after I was "inflammatory". That's a good result in spite of the fact that you may not like how I got there. At some point, you (or other moderators) my decide I crossed a line and I may get a temporary or even a permanent ban. When/if that happens, I will accept it. I certainly will not be a jerk to the mod responsible as I understand they have a job to do. But, I will not accept people being dicks either. That means I will flirt with the line. So... again... We both have to do what we feel is right. Until such time, I will continue to put forth way more good than bad and hope that the net effect is a positive one. Chaotic Good in DnD terms.
