"Why does everybody here insult each other?"

I've noticed this and was wondering why. At other forum sites I've been at nobody insults each other and it's far better.

Hey, I always said I tried to be easygoing and accomodating; that applies to anal as well. Why else would Mrs Light have bought a strap-on the size of Florida and arrived at my house with a glint in her eye and a determination to make me squeal on her mind...

Please stop using the general as a megaphone.

It's not right... and you'll catch something...

No, I was jus saying it in general, in reply to your comment.

I assume you was saying that at me, but I never said I had been offended by Azul because I haven't but I think he tries to make trouble.

I wouldn't get offended by some one who I don't know over the internet.

My god that was anal Light.






I thought you saved yourself for Friday nights

Damn wasn't counting on this sudden run on cake...

Well...speaking as one of the most aggressive posters here (and I don't think I'm in danger of being contradicted there), I tend to treat the debates here in an adversarial fashion. I don't view that as a bad thing; I'm not trying to trip people up, it's just that I find debate keeps the little grey cells ticking over. After all, the brain is like any muscle in that it needs constant exercise. And admitting that one is wrong if beaten in a debate isn't exactly a difficult task.

My main failing is that I won't let someone back out of a debate and refuse to discuss a point, if they then continue to post as if their initial statement is gospel truth (FF and Bell, I'm looking at you...). At which point I tend to move from aggressive debate to (if you'll excuse my boasting) linguistically beautiful insults.

The reason I move onto those insults is that I've found that the sort of people who evade questions tend to have an over inflated sense of their own importance coupled with a low opinion of anyone who disagree's with them. Hurling a well constructed insult will usually cause the reader to laugh. And the one thing that a self-important and egocentric person hates more than anything else is being laughed at.

Once they know they're being laughed at, it can go one of two ways; either they then return to the debate and address the point raised (which is the main intent) or the evasiveness increases to the point where I no longer have to hurl an insult; the poster makes himself look stupid without any help from others (and I confess, I enjoy exposing self-important frauds almost as much as I enjoy a normal debate).

So that, in a roundabout sort of way, is the reason I hurl insults here.






Well, that and the fact that it's both big and clever to do so.

Anyone who is insulted or offended by Azul has the brain capacity of a fish.
