[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7659936, member: 177"] [color=darkorange] This is from several pages back, but I'm going to use it as an example. At the point when you're going to start claiming that the other side is not rational, it is time for you to STOP. Walk away. Learn to walk away before you become a rude jerk. When you say things like this, you yourself are not being rational either. The discussion, such as it was, has stopped, and has turned into two sides venting at each other. It has become about being right, and winning, and you've become willing to say nasty things about people you don't really know to do it. And, if you cannot learn to stop before you say something jerkish, you are in grave danger of the mods hearing about it, and coming in and making an embarassing, upsetting example of you, or just giving you a vacation from the site. Treat each other with respect. If you have lost respect, don't respond. Is that clear? I hope so. If not, please take it up in e-mail or PM with one of the moderators. Thanks, all.[/color] [/QUOTE]
