The problem is that your observation is dead wrong. Using the term "pretentious" or "disingenuous" when appropriate is not being disrespectful. Posting a "don't feed the trolls" sign when it is not appropriate is being disrespectful. That puts you in a self-contradictory position assuming that you agree that we should treat each other with mutual respect.

Do you think insulting and demeaning someone online actually means you like them? Yes or no?

So if I thought it was appropriate to call you pretentious, sarcastic, demeaning, childish or paranoid. That's ok? Got it. I get how you think now and I'll be on my way. Thanks for the illuminating discourse

Let me clarify everything for you.

The fact that SeaMonkey and his navy buddies talked trash on a ship in 1961 does not mean that demeaning and degrading someone online here actually means that you like them. As far as I am concerned SeaMonkey is just in a weird mood and he is BSing and playing the provocateur for "kicks." He has lost his composure.

The question that you are afraid to answer and has everything to do with this thread goes like this: "No, when someone demeans and degrades someone online it does not mean that they actually like the other person. To even suggest it is preposterous because this is not a football locker room or a navy ship. It's pretentious for someone to even suggest that this is true." Why you don't even have the courage or character to state the obvious is beyond me.

To suggest that using the term "pretentious" in the above paragraph is inappropriate is ridiculous and why you would even suggest that is beyond me.

That above is just sarcastic immature baby talk because you are not able to put forth a sensible argument.

We should all try to treat people with respect online. We should not call other people shills or government agents because we are totally ignorant of their situation and we are also totally ignorant of how many mentally unbalanced people might be reading. Not to mention the whole idea of the government watching over beginner electronics experimenters that work at a high school competency level is ridiculous.

That's the real message. Just go onto YouTube and do a search on "vicious assault" and look at about 30 clips if you need a sobering dose of reality.

I have not levelled one insult at you. You have levelled several at me for using your own statements back at you. It seems like a pastime for you? I guess it's easy when you're anonymous.

You want respect? [/size]

Start treating others the same way and you maybe surprised.[/size]

Don't try to pretend you are an angel. Everything I said is valid and I stand by it. It's not about me either, it's about everyone. Your argument from the very start in this thread is false.

QuoteI have not levelled one insult at you.

What the hell is this then?

Why you chose to object to the message in this thread by making a false argument about a quote of mine is similar to SeaMonkey making a ridiculous statement for "kicks."

Just absorb the message in this thread and leave it at that.

I didn't insult you. I asked you a question based on your own logic. Clearly you were upset by the question. I don't know you but I'm guessing you have not had much social interaction in life. In the real world people get upset when you call them names even if - you think it's appropriate - . So you have levelled insults at me and seamonkey. To be clear though, I am not insulted. I'm not been condescending but you can hurl all the insults you like, the decision to be insulted is mine alone. For instance - you accuse me of "immature baby talk" - Well clearly "immature" is redundant and babies can't talk, so I actually find your insults say more about you. How I react says more about me.

What I am attempting to explain to you, which is proving difficult, is that all you really need to do is treat people how you want to be treated. Most people know this, which is why I am assuming you are socially isolated.
