Never Ask Someone To Clarify The Meaning of What They Say.
Never Ask Someone To Clarify The Meaning of What They Say.

Just assume you know what the meaning is.

And if they do clarify their meaning, and it differs from your assumption, call them a liar and stick with your assumption.

That is what open-minded people do. Especially Liberals.

5. so what do you have against the mentally challenged?
You CLEARLY feel it is appropriate to cast asparagus upon people of low cognitive ability. Especially some here!

Me too.

You know the worst scorched earth verbal fights I've been in here have been with people telling me what I meant instead of listening to the words coming out of my fingers. I don't know if it's a sign of stupidity or just some social modus those kind have; push buttons, deliberately misinterpret and then act put upon when you clarify without doubt.

Eh, if we were all perfect no one would notice me any more. :P

15. How Dare You!
How dare you insult me in this way.

I know what you are doing here, and I have to tell you that I do not like it.

You have insulted me, my mother, my father, as well as my brothers and sisters.

In addition, you have -- on purpose I might add -- demeaned my gender, my age, my sexual orientation, and my ethnicity.

I shall expect your apology forthwith.

16. I'm going to lock this.
Do not post "flame bait" discussion topics. While there is no clear line regarding what constitutes flame bait, the moderators have the authority to shut down threads which they consider too rhetorically hot, too divisive, too extreme, or too inflammatory. Please use good judgment when starting threads; inflammatory rhetoric does not normally lead to productive discussion.

Do not start a new topic in order to continue a flame war from another discussion thread.

Do not "stalk" another member from one discussion thread to another. Do not follow someone into another thread to try to continue a disagreement you had elsewhere. Do not talk negatively about an individual in a thread where they are not participating. Do not post messages with the purpose of "calling out" another member or picking a fight with another member.

best,
wakemeupwhenitsover
