Reply By: AngloesquePosted: Monday, May 23, 2005ummmmmm and where is A PERSON ATTACK>? AS in I think so and so is an idiot? or moron?Dude, your original post was about name calling, not about personal attacks. If you wanna make it about personal attacks, then write that. But as far as name calling goes, go meet all the other kettles, Pot.-A.

ok pan... will do.

I agree in principle, even though I'm what you would call a liberal. Generalisations are fine, if these are recognised as such. But name calling on a personal level is completely unnecessary. It is counter-productive and immature. All it demonstrates is the writer's inability to cope with conflict.

Well said, mate.

Cheers,

again I say you are level headed and a liberal, these days these two things do not necessarily go together.

See, this is what ticks me off about you. My point was entirely valid, on topic, but you ignored it. Why? Can't you fight it? Don't you understand it? Or would you rather just whine defensively than admit that you're wrong? But you fixate on one tiny aspect of it, the part where I metaphorically pointed out your hypocrisy, rather than face an argument that says something you don't want to admit.

Congratulations, you've just invalidated yourself.

To you, maybe. But not all of us would feel that way. And if you want to get technical about it... nowhere in this post did he call anyone a name! All he did was ask a question!

Or can it just be they are mean spirited asses, small minded people that tolerate no opinion but there own?

This is a question not a declarative sentence! Note the question mark at the end of the sentence? So in reality your point was not valid. Which is probably why he didn't respond.

Well doc since when does a question mark make any distinction to someone looking to poke holes??
