cool your jets, please
Hi Contracycle!
Please take this moment to remind yourself of Forum Rule #3, which reads:
3. Respect for others is the rule here. Argue the position, not the person. The Britannica says, "Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach."
I'm not feeling a lot of "cool detachment" from your post #21. I think it might have to do with the all-caps you chose to use and the insult you chose to hurl.
Please continue the debate, keeping rule #3 firmly in your mind.
Thanks for playing.

Please continue the debate, keeping rule #3 firmly in your mind.

Its a common courtesy, in debate, to answer the point your opponent proposes. Seeing as that is not noccurring, there cannot said to be a debate.
Call it what you want, but keep rule #3 in mind in all of your interactions with other posters here. Here is rule #3 again:
3. Respect for others is the rule here. Argue the position, not the person. The Britannica says, "Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach."
It is my estimation that your choice to insult another poster and to use all-caps was a clear violation of rule #3.
If you wish to have another Admin judge your post, then please let me know.
here goes Contracycle into wacko mode again.

Is tyhat within the bounds of tghe rules of debate? Am I allowed to respond "fuck of Schraf", or is personal abuse another admin privilege? It seems whats good for goose is not good for the gander - yet again.
You know, you are completely correct.
In my non-admin mode, I apologize for my disrespectful behavior.

Re: You may not respect the Admins
Calling member liars and babybombers is not going to increase the value of your posts.

Truth hurts. But, no pain no gain.
It seems that you need to take your own advice about "pain" and gain".
Below is forum rule #3. Please abide by it.
Respect for others is the rule here. Argue the position, not the person. The Britannica says, "Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach."
