Welcome to EvC, TheNewGuy03.
Just thought I'd let you know that we have some
forum rules which, among other things, strongly encourage people to avoid personal attacks, name-calling, and the like, and that you agreed to abide by when you registered.
So, when you said:
quote:
Anyway, I don't really want to die. Idiot.
you were in violation of rule #3:
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."
You could have said "Your comment was idiotic." and it would have been within the rules. So, refrain from the
ad hominems and you will not attract moderator attention.
We look forward to your participation in the debate!
