[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 113276, member: 111"] <AdviceMode> If faced with this You have basically two appropriate responses. 1. Ignore it - either competely or you could agree or disagree with the actual statement about he rules that's in the middle of the response. 2. Reprimand the poster with something like: Wow! That seems like quite a rather personal attack. I'll not respond in kind - please refrain from doing that sort of posting in the future - it doesn't add to the sort of civil discourse we enjoy in these forums. Thanks. On to the discussion at hand... <you present your point of view about the issue> See how much better that is than flying off the handle? It IS possible to make your point without returning an insult. An approach like this will gain you respect, admiration and, perhaps more importantly, folks who will be happy to have discussions with you. An approach of returning insult for insult will impress no one and prejudice people against having discussions with you. </AdviceMode> [/QUOTE]
