It is quite possible to point out the arguments on your side of the fence without being
rude, condescending and belittling. I am sick of reading this crap. A mature person
with a
real argument would be able to present them in an adult fashion without resorting to
abuse. To lace arguments with snide put downs just antagonizes and leaves one with
little
interest in the person or his/her argument.
Don't know about any body else, but I cannot trust anyone's opinion who cannot grasp
that
abuse is unacceptable. If they can't understand that I doubt they can understand
anything
else. If one feels one has to attack the people one disagrees with then it would appear
that not only the beliefs may be flawed in the person doing the attacking but that
their
self esteem is also flawed. If it wasn't there would be no need felt to do the other
party
down.
