I was referring to your overall rhetoric. Shall we examine your post history?




The fact that you so quickly resort to personal attacks is - as most intelligent people know - a hallmark of poor debating skills, low intelligence, and insecurity when weathering public criticism.

When I woke up this morning and sat down at my workstation, I thought to myself "Hmm, I wonder if Vendzilla replied to my post? If so, I wonder if he merely made an intelligent rebuttal, or if he just resorted to name calling?"

Unfortunately, you disappointed me.

Notice how when I made my comment, I did not personally attack you or label you? I even took care to state that it was your stance and posting behavior that I took issue with, and that I wasn't branding you personally as an idiot, since you may very well be a very intelligent person with a poorly thought out worldview. Even though I gave you that respect, you unabashedly attacked me (instead of my stance), which is a disappointing testament to your intelligence and character.

In the future, if you want people to actually take anything you have to say seriously, I would suggest brushing up on these things.
In a perfect world....

I've tried this approach here. It doesn't work. I've since adapted & devolved myself and my posting styles to better fit the dynamic of GFY.
