[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 501467, member: 13254"] I agree that we shouldn't call other posters names and disparage their personalities. But sometimes the conversations become debates and debates become arguments....yadda yadda yadda. Human nature to retaliate or defend your position. In another thread I asked a (basically rhetorical) question of another poster when I typed. "[COLOR=Sienna]Just what do you use for a brain? I'm serious, put that sales hype to the side for long enough to use you head for thinking." [COLOR=Black](BTW, I would have said this if we had been stand two feet apart) My point was that the posts of the said person had not been thought out given the text that had proceeded. My intention was not to demean the ohter poster but to get their attention to foster thought beyond a demonstated level. Following that, with a little rewording on both our parts, we found out we were basiclly on the same page, just wording it totally different. On a personal level I did not think this person to be brainless, quite the opposite actually. I do have to ask though, what is the difference in saying a post is stupid and saying that poster is stupid? The difference is that at times everyone uses their head only to keep their ears apart. To me the flame or personal attack, is when you say something with the only impactis for disparaging their character or personality. i.e., yo momma wears combat boots. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
