Try again.
It wasn't the insult, it was the delivery. People insult each other here all the time -- and at times, cross a lot of lines that we likely shouldn't. It's not that, it's something else.
An American guy might have said "Shut up bitch", but "Silence, whore!" -- that's a whole other mindset.
"In other words, you guys literally cannot discuss the issues on the merits - all you can do is post fanciful insults, like your buddy elenil21."
Wrong. Eleni hasn't even adressed you since about 75 posts back! We have all given you a very hard time here since then -- arguing, insulting and cajoling-- but you pick her out from what -- two days ago?- to go after with "Silence, whore!"? Because she was dismissive of you back then?
It's just plain weird.
Post 226 was from two days ago? Really?
