Quote (Albatrossity2 @ July 06 2008,14:04) | Quote (lcd @ July 06 2008,12:25) | As for the name calling, why do so many on this board come on out to insult instead of keeping quiet and letting a person speak? I know I had issues when I was trying to discuss things around here. All you want to do is hitting back at those who are being incredibly disrespectful. |

Perhaps you could read this thread again, starting with Guts' first postings... When did the name-calling start? Frankly, given the grade-school level of his comments here, I think an objective observer would say that most of the regulars exhibited remarkable restraint.
But let's not just take my word for it. Let's go to the evidence.
===
Guts first reply on this thread, after posting three without a response: "You're obviously scientifically illiterate."
second reply: "I'll post another example of deception" (later shown by Wes to not be an example of deception after all).
third reply: "It'll be fun excersize (sic) for the comming (sic) weeks to continue to point out just how deceptive the denizens of AE can be"
fourth reply: "You guys should get out of the dark ages, these board functions suck"
After a non-abusive reply from Dr.GH, a fifth reply: "you're nothing but an alcoholic, so you're not in any way credible."
sixth and seventh reply, all with no intervening comments by anyone else: "What with your ultra darwinist beliefs, its pathetic." "piece of shit board. you guys must be dumbasses"
after a non-abusive comment by dnmlthr, this response: "I have more evidence for my position than you have for the existence of your own brain. Please"
Choice insults from some of his other 90 posts
"You don't know my position? That's pathetic, you're completely ignorant and yet you let this thread continue, pathetic."
"What a waste of brain cells you are."
"you are weak in terms of intellectual debate." (note the intellectual content of his comments to this point...)
"How about we debate your complete and utter Incompetence ? That seems like a good debate."
"Do you think your mother would be proud of something like that?"
"You're a moron and you should realize this undisputable (sic) fact of life."
"No thats (sic) me conceding that you're a retard."
"No i'm (sic) trying to provoke actual thought, which is absent here. No one knows my position? Are you friggin kidding me? This thread is pages and pages long, and accusations abound, but no one knows my position? How batshit insane is that. I could write a book on it."
"Because this thread is obviously not about evidence or logic, it's about who can throw the best turd."
Etc. ===
In 90 comments he merely bloviated, despite several polite requests to state a position and have a real intellectual debate. He hurled insults from the very beginning. What part of that makes you proud to be associated with his side? |
