This is true.
There are times when I have to back off of a trhead because I'm way too angry about something either in thread or in teh subject.
(Like, for example, "Peace" protestors advocating violence against soldiers. I end up seeing red and babbling aphasia over it to the point of being unintelligable.)
You don't take into consideration who is sputtering their shpeel and just ignore it?
There are FReepers with whom I would refuse to debate even which the day of the week it is, because I know how they think and what the results will be. Getting into a name calling argument with someine I have never met isn't what I consider even slightly intelligent.
