Never attack the person behind the post, if you oppose his/her ideas, post it. But an argument towards another person's personality, gender, age, nationality etc. is the dumbest thing to do in a debate.

 

 

 

(Unless it's clear the person is just troll-baiting or being an all-around moron by spamming all the time, making irrelevant posts, insulting others constantly etc)

 

 

 

I think we should add religion to that list, as that gets abused a lot around here.

Attacking other ideas and beliefs (i.e. religion, non-religion, etc) should be fully encouraged in any healthy debate. Shielding specific views from potential criticism is not a good idea.

Agreed, I think Bluelancer was just talking about our personal ascribed statuses which we cannot help. Not our opinions - those are free game ;) (when it's relevant of course).

If at all possible, could we PLEASE put it into writing that the "moral/logical dilemma" threads are to be considered as spam? All they really do is present a random hypothetical said in such a way that it makes people feel bad no matter what way they land. All they really do is clog up the forum from doing the things that it's designed to do. Sound fair? If they want to do this, put it in Forum Games or something. If I look at a topic, I want to see something legitimate to discuss, not some random pointless hypothetical. :evil:

If you have any complaints about me, please refer to this link. Your problems are important to me.

Don't talk smack if you're not willing to say it to the person's face. On the same line, if you're not willing to back up your opinions no matter what, your opinion may as well be nonexistent.

Sadly a new wave is begging to start again. Just look on page 1.

 

From the day we arrive on the forum

 

And, blinking, step into the threads

 

There's more to see than can ever be seen

 

More to do than can ever be done

 

There's far too much to take in here

 

More to find than can ever be found

 

But the text rolling high

 

Through the sapphire skins

 

Keeps great and small on the endless round

 

It's the Circle of Strife

 

And it moves us all

 

Through despair and trolls

 

Through idiots and memes

 

Till we find our place

 

On the path unwinding

 

In the Circle

 

The Circle of Strife

 

It's The Circle of Strife

 

And it moves us all

 

Through despair and trolls

 

Through idiots and memes

 

Till we find our place

 

On the path unwinding

 

In the Circle

 

The Circle of Strife

You bumped a thread that hasn't seen a post in about nine months? :P

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.
