Abuse of fellow members

It's alright for you to abuse people though, isn't it?

what abuse?

he called me a socialist because of my posts supporting socialism.

and if you read that post again you'll see i attack his argument not his person

I called him a fascist because of his posts supporting fascism (and strangely, a mod sent my post to the sin bin for merely identifying the fascism in his post)

fairness from mods? i never expect it

tell me where the abuse is

For a Communications student you're a little bit deluded about what constitutes written abuse and what doesn't.

If that is what you see as rebutting an argument, then I shall refer you to this gem so you can freshen your comprehension in regard to the definition and execution of an argument.



It may be a hoary old chestnut, but it is an effective reminder of how to engage the intellect rather than shouting at people to "make" your point.

Generally speaking referring to people using a diminutive of their name also constitutes subtle but definite abuse but you lack the balls to do that in public so you fall to the old standard of relying on the "rep" system to convey your contempt.

and in posting that you still manage to avoid pointing out why it might be abuse.
that is of course because it was a genuine attack on his argument not on his person.

yawn embed removed., shall i post one of my assignments on the subject? have you got a few hours spare?

why should i try to 'engage the intellect' of someone when they are obviously obtuse? did they try to engage the intellect or just post mindless propaganda? no, better to completely destroy their stupid argument and leave it at that.

good grief that's nonsense!
i rarely use rep at all and mainly only for positive posts.
as for "lack the balls to do that in public" how the fuck would you know what i do in public? If you knew me and had spoken to my friends you'd know that i am rarely afraid to say anything in public.

those who have been red repped by me are few and far between and were so repped for one of 2 reasons:

because they red repped me when they ran out of argument or because their post was genuinely rubbish

now isn't it strange that your post wailing about what you think is abuse contains so much abuse?

what's that greek word again? hypo......

Hypo let it go?
Hypo-know when to hold em, know when to fold them?

By your own admission,-from what I've seen-, a few people dont like you, and aren't willing to listen to anything you have to say, be it right or wrong.
Whatever else you are, you're not stupid, so if you choose to keep banging your head on those particular brick walls, you have no one but yourself to blame for the resultant headaches.

PS.Moaning and bitching -even to the Mods- isnt going to cure them either.
