I thought I was being pretty polit even replying to 90% of the name calling post.

Should we go help them on their communication skills while we're at it?

looking particularly the idea that no one else can possibly be more correct than yourself.

I am just trying to be 100% clear. I think you are saying, that it didn't matter what you said, the fact that you said anything made you wrong. This is the response to many posts. In essence, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that it doesn't matter what you say, if you say anything, we treat you as if you are wrong or incorrect? Did I get this correct?

I colored another section of your quote. "Name Calling post"? You quoted me with that replay. However, I don't see a single name calling reference in my post. I am assuming you meant me, but I think you may have also been referring to other posts. Please clarify.
Mark

Well, not just anyone. You have to earn that perception with approximately seventy-five posts that read as unintelligent garbage.

Personally, I believe that is maintained by the high standard of debate. Puffed up douchebaggery usually blows itself out around 100 posts then goes back to Mom's basement.

You know the worm has turned when they begin to use modified Looney Tunes screen caps as argument tools because they've run out of even semi-intelligent written retorts.

It's a form of "Stand Your Ground", Tom. If we feel even mildly annoyed by a troll........we attack and kill him.

The response was not to try and prove me wrong but to name call so how do you all learn here with that behavior. How do you all teach driving people out the door. I'll admit when I'm wrong on things if someone can present a case that looks and sounds good. Thats not happening here why?

I guess you all think that someone that just comes to a site doesn't know anything and should not say anything. I would imagine that attitude is represented in the low membership here.

Now if the other members and yourself want to talk about the topic have at it.
Otherwise we can just name call till we're blue in the face.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
