You stated ...”I wonder if you all reading this know all the vile names I personally have been called”...
But it is you that creates the environment for that. In part you can’t help that for it’s in your personality....but you do offend people and this not in a debatable way but a condescending manner... especially if they’re trying to reason with you. The game becomes one upping rather than discovering truth. But then Q is a game after all.
Are you sure about that? I think a fair reading of every single conflict would tell a different tale, my friend.
Here's the problem. If I'm insulted, I tend to respond. But I don't respond in similar fashion. I respond in a better way. Go analyze every post I've ever made. The science is there.
I'll admit, I usually get the best of anybody that comes at me. And THAT is what pisses people off. Mrsmith still holds a grudge from when we tangled. And I remember you and I have scrapped a time or two as well, goodman.
But I challenge you to cite a SINGLE time I've started any conflict. EVER.
I do tend to finish them, though. That I will admit.
Divisive? Setting the environment?
I think not.
Smart people don't like to lose arguments and they anger easily. And there are a LOT of smart people on FR. You being one of them, caww. That I have to admit.
But smart people can be wrong too.
