Besides, you're coming across as holier-than-thou for someone who arrogantly puts down posters with regularity for the stupidity of their opinions.

I don't do that.

I don't remember ever calling a single soul on this site stupid. I've never even said an opinion is stupid. I tend to say things like "that makes no sense to me", or "I strongly disagree with that."

I don't mean to come across holier than thou, because no doubt I've gotten on people's nerves around here before. I'm probably annoying several people other than you just by perpetuating this discussion. And I tend to express strong opinions, which annoys people sometimes. And I like that you have strong opinions, but I'd rather see us stick to discussing those opinions rather than get into such banalities as "logical fallacies" and "ad hominem attacks."

I don't mean to come at you or put you down. I respect your opinions. But it'd be good if you showed respect for the opinions of others as well, because I think the disrespect and condescending nature is what is making people chafe at your presence here. If we just focus on the content of our discussions rather than try to win debates like we're on Crossfire, I think we'd get along a bit better. That's all.
