Don’t call people names or use swear words – if you have to do that, you have already shown that you have lost an argument.


Mmmmmmm... delicious recursion.


I heard that heard I!

Try to offer a reasonable and rational counter-argument to an argument you see, rather than ridiculing, denouncing, picking apart, twisting, etc. someone’s sentences.

Don’t question somebody’s sanity or intelligence in responding to something you disagree with.

OK Prokofy I admit I unmuted you and actually agree with your post. I see no reason for anyone in here to insult others with name calling, trying to twist their posts around to make them seem like fools and questioning the integrity of their opinions.

Unless a person works for Linden Labs whatever they say is only an opinion. Last night when I stated I didn't feel I was getting the service I was paying for a few people tried to turn it around and make it seem like it was all my fault because I drive a SUV and other such nonsence.

I don't get it. :)

Um ten pages was my dream!

So Robin, can you log on? *Grins*

I am suitably chastised about forum baiting. It should be added to the list: "no forum baiting."


Well as I said, I think Proks original post is well taken, and really some other comments have been made as well that seem apply. I happen to agree with aimee about the neg rating.

*Insert random baiting remark here because old habits die hard*

We are all paradoys of ourselves here. No post can truly be anything but a pale impression of the person making it.

Besides I think Proks intent was that he was being called a name "frankensteins monster."

I suppose you could use an analogy, or is it a similie, as a thinly disguised insult.


I don't understand that comparison. Was he stitched together from random body parts? Animated by lightning? Saddened by his betrayal of the man who created him?

Okay, you win. I find it hard being this stupid. :)

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Ask yourself whether what you wrote could stand up as an idea of its own if it were all by itself in a thread, not responding to someone else’s post.

Don’t call people names or use swear words – if you have to do that, you have already shown that you have lost an argument.

Thanks for your support! :)

Great idea! Let me add a couple...

- Don't tell lies about people.

- Don't neg rate people on appearance or building when you have a forum dispute with them (unless the disagreement has to do with their appearance or building)




Don’t hide an insult in a rhetorical question, or package a vituperative reposte in an alleged generic statement that everyone can see is targeted at one person.

Let's consider what I wrote. I quoted Pandastrong, who had quoted you. This in and of itself could only be considered a rebuke of Pandastrong. However, it wasn't. The codicil referring to recursion makes it abundantly clear that it was a joke based upon the infinite loop which you two appeared to be locked in.

However, I am glad that you have reviewd your prior posting history and compiled a list of your foibles. I wish you luck with your struggle towards civil discourse.

that wasn't long enough... and you didn't use enough polysyllabics

I do think it was an excellent post and agree with it too. I suck at the forums and will make an attempt to use the suggestions next time I make a feeble attempt at posting.

However, I am a optimistic person and I still hold to my original post. I am hoping and praying this is an attempt to extend an olive branch and for us all to move on and begin to heal.

Therefore, I will also add a suggestion.
Dont call females "hun" or males "son" as a form of degrading.

Sorry Prok, but I stand by my statement. You are the least qualified of anyone I can think of to offer tips for proper forum conduct. If you're turning over a new leaf then might I suggest a few dozen public apologies for your behavior might be a better use of your time than cutting and pasting rules you yourself never follow.

In truth I didn't quite see it either. It didn't strike me as name calling. But then I am obtuse. I also not sure where the whole "fuck you hedonist" fits in.

Arguably saying "fuck you hedonist" is a more direct insult than is comparing them to frankenstein's monster. How ever if the person is in fact a hedonist, they may interpret thjis as an offer of pleasure, causing one of those awkward moments as your ride the elevator together.

Bleh

This is stupid, no matter what you say nor how well written your post is, he'll find some rule from his first post to reply with.

I think the only way that he wont is if you either agree with him or find something that makes so much sense that he ignores it.

So I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm done.
