ripple Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I intended no 'insult', it was merely an observation. If someone is inserting incendiary words like "terrorists" and "cowards" into their thread topics and broadly applying those terms, I just think that at the very least, they are demonstrating a flair for melodrama. "Terrorists"...."cowards"...really kvnchrist? Do you see this as the 'debate' forum or the 'I can flame people as long as we don't name them' forum? How about just summarizing an issue or concrete topic without deliberately trying to provoke responses? Edited June 3, 2014 by ripple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think a post is flaming or otherwise breaking the rules of this site then you REPORT them. You don't play forum vigilante. Calling someone out for what you perceive as a weak debate or a flair for the melodramatic does not give you the right to answer a wrong with a wrong. Debates are in their nature a confrontational affair but should not be a personal one. I have reviewed all the post in this topic. You can debate the weaknesses that you find in the OP argument or call them out for repeating their posts without name calling. You break down their argument and you give examples of how what they say is not true, using evidence. @Everyone-follow the rules of this site per the Terms of Service, report things you believe break the ToS. I do not wish to have to further moderate and/or close this topic.~Lisnpuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvnchrist Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I will not comment on this any further than to say that I utterly refuse to allow any post of mine to cause grief for the staff here just to bring up a a topic that seemingly no one wishes to contend with.. Please lock this thread and I will find something else to discuss. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
