kvnchrist Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I don't know what's going on here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if I'm doing anything wrong at all but, I've been personally attacked twice and had several of my posts turned into a flame war of personalities. I'm the type of person who can get along with anyone, but it seems like there are a few here that just can't step away from their computers to qualm down and end up insulting others. I know, I'm not innocent in this, but I'm not proud of it, when I think about it. I ask myself just how well did I relate to others the image I want to be associated with. Did I damage myself in the long term, but gaining small spiteful victory's in the short. I remember the last time I showed my rear end here. I was upset and a 16 year old pointed that fact out to me and I did the best to diminish his words and to spare my ego. It caused a thread of mine to become locked and I would like to apologize for my actions and thank that 16 year old. I am not the smartest or the wisest, not even close, but I would like it, if when those deep into a heated debate and feel that warm wave of anger begin to build, that they will remember my words.

grannywils Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Good post Kvnchrist, and the 16 year old, if I am not mistaken was probably Keanumora, and should be given credit and reminded of the above even for his own good as well as that of others. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvnchrist Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Well the damage is twofold here. On all of us. When people begin to bicker, they push other people away from the post, and sooner or later they simply bypass any post started by them, because they think that the bickering will be inevitable. You begin to loose listeners as well as contributes I am not targeting anybody, but as I've noticed there are a few here that stubbornly defend their beliefs. Is that a shock on a debate board. There is one person in here who steadily believes in science. It is not a surprise that he defaults back to this. It is his way and everybody needs to except this. We all have certain beliefs that are our core beliefs, and to get upset at this is to get upset at a habit, that won't change, no matter what. On my knowledge thread. The one I never got to comment on a lot of you guys went into quoting wise people. I am not a wise person, though I do have experience that I conveniently forget when I'm pissed, but I'd like to quote a few words of a saying that might just save a couple of threads from being locked. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,Courage to change the things I can,And wisdom to know the difference. Please debate the topic. It is only out of respect for the OP. Please don't debate the poster it is only out of respect for each other. If I have offend anyone here, I apologize, but I came here to hear the learned opinions of others, so I could become wiser, not to hear other peoples opinions of others. I can make up my own opinions myself. As an admin and a mod on other sites I've tried to always lived by the ideal of praising in public and chastising in p.m. I know I don't speak for this site, but I think it wasn't built to provide any of us a safe haven to act out a soap opera.

marharth Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I try to stay away from personal attacks, but my opinions are sometimes worded in ways that seem quite offensive. I apologize for that. Resulting to personal insults is a logic fallacy, so its never a good idea to resort to that in a debate.

Kuraikiba Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 What I still don't know is who is the random "default back to science" person. I hate guessing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marharth Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Most people posted like scientists there.I am pretty sure that only two or three people thought that it was a scientific matter. The people who agreed with me on the topic were female to my knowledge, and kvn refereed to this person as a he. I came to the conclusion that knv was referring to me due to that. I may be missing something else, but that's my logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
