| OK, my take coming from a brutal contestant of flame wars both here and other forums that I belong to. So, I voted no but I also wanted to attach a comment. A flame war by nature IS personal. That's the whole point, to make clear that you think that the other guy is a d**k! Some will agree and some will defend the guy.
I made some comments a while back and another member called me to the carpet over it. It didn't change what I think and he knows it, but I hope he went away knowing that it applied to those that fell into that catagory and not everyone. Do I really care? No, I made my point and so did he. I can respect that.
I suppose there has to be some level of decency but I tend to shy away from censorship in any form. I think that as a whole, our society has gotten too "politically correct" to the point where our local and federal gvnts are spending huge sums of money so "no one gets offended" ...what BS. If you can't take an insult or worse, think that everything IS an insult, go to the corner and cry like a baby. Come back when you have a set that clanks when you walk(I read that somewhere and liked it). For anyone her over fifty, you'll appreciate this. My son will turn 18 in a couple weeks...and he just got into his first fight! All because of the "no tolerance" issue. We're raising a county full of pu**ys and my guess is that in another 50 or so years, we'll be to afraid to fight and we'll surrender the country that our forefathers fought and died for.
Makes me happy that I'm not the Mod!

btw- Kyle told me he hit the guy so hard that he was afraid that he really hurt him when he went down and didn't move. Am I proud? Of course but in the same token I'm glad that he learned that it can be dangerous to fight too. |
