Rule 1 Questions

[Chris]

Faulty inference. I simply don't care. If someone wants to personally attack me on an anonymous messageboard it has no effect on my life. Matter of fact, I rarely report anyone that engages in personal attacks with the sole exception of Chris.

False accusation, marie, something you keep doing but can never demonstrate.

Basically the same attitude of cigar, concern for yourself, no concern for others and the forum.

Anyway, nice distraction, guy and gal, from the topic, what is the meaning of the rule, no personal attacks? How about you let others answer rather than distract.

What false accusation do you speak of?

I can't speak for Cigar, but I'm not a communist that needs governance. btw, you are actually the only person I've seen that is bothered by personal attacks. No one else incessantly harps on the issue.

Your blatant and repeated accusation I personally attack others. You never show where that happens. Cry wolf enough and no one will believe you any more.


I and others are bothered by personal attacks disrupting discussion. Other than that it's simply hoisting your own petard, see Insults.


You don't seem to want to contribute to this discussion but only distract from the OP questions.

Bingo....he just doesn't get it. He is by far one of the most self-centred, thin-skinned, attention-seeking people I've ever 'met' on a messageboard. Almost as bad as Intense on that other board. It got to a stage (before I put him on ignore) where I thought he was a troll. His constant whining about ad homs and the way he twisted even the most basic post around to something that wasn't being said or discussed was mind boggling. And when you point out a fact about how wrong he is and why, he not only refuses to accept it but then tries to argue why he is right. Thus me thinking he was a troll, because I couldn't think anybody could really be that obtuse and they must be taking the piss. Find him one of the most disruptive posters on this board, thus the ignore button being on....Would love to know how old he is - comes across as 15-18 age bracket...

Nice oxymoron, marie.

Dude just shut up and take a Midol. Don't bring this inflammatory nonsense into a thread about a question on the rules. Why on earth you would think this is okay is beyond me.

What's interesting in the face of some her trying to make this personal, in the OP when I use "we" I'm not using the royal we but referring to VIPs and Mods, chosen from members because of their many continued contributions to the forum, and who put the rules together as what best helps achieve the purpose of the forum.


In a way it all comes down to simple discourse ethics. When you post you're saying you have something to contribute and want enough respect to be heard and that you will reciprocate that respect. We will disagree on politics, religion, government, everything under the sun, even heatedly, but there's no reason, ethically, to be disagreeable. --If you're not here for these reasons, with that attitude, then perhaps you don't belong here.
