If someone presents an opposing view, I expect them to have reasons. If I think their reasons make sense, I'll grant them and I might even change my mind. If they don't, I'll tell them why they don't make sense. On a strictly moderated discussion-debate site this can all be done without engaging in personal attacks.

In this thread, two posters attacked me personally and you chastised me. This thread wasn't supposed to be about me. Why didn't you pounce on That Guy for starting this? If you and other mods would do that regardless of which opinion you agree with, it would be a better place.

I'll go back to lurking here. This and the Extremeskins site are a rich source of humor...especially when the posters are trying to be serious.

I wasn't chastising you. Merely making an observation of how your demeanor comes across to some people. It's not like That Guy and Schneed have a whole litany of enemies on this site. By the same token, I hope they stop participating in this debate and get back to what the mods would like all of you to do-discuss how to make the site better. I believe you had a post once about how to determine the winner in a debate. I don't know if you were being facetious with it or what, but it's just not what the site is about.

woah there buddy. YOU started it by complaining about how terrible the debate here is (implying everyone else sucks), then you talk about how smart you are (everyone else is an idiot). I'd like you to point out my insults, because I used evidence from your own previous statements to show they're facts.

YOU make it about yourself, you talk down to people, insult their intelligence, and vastly disrespect this board and its members and yet are SHOCKED when anything besides "we love huddle, you're so great" is posted.

this isn't a strict debate board, so stop with that tired excuse. if it were you'd actually have to debate criticism instead of offering unsupported opinions as undeniable fact. You've also engaged in quite a bit of personal attacks, avoidance and these played out "help, i'm being oppressed" routines yourself, and this constant smugness, talking down to people, and acting like they can't have opinions without your express written permission is insulting.

Maybe you're autistic or have a social disorder i don't know about and i shouldn't be so harsh, but the understanding of people and social IQ in some of your posts is stricty sub-zero.
