lets stop the name calling
« on: October 12, 2010, 06:10:26 PM »
We have a lot of passionate people on this forum. However we have to act in a mature manner. Kahanist liberal and Daniel are not trolls and posters like them with different views make this forum much more interesting and educational. I ask some of the posters here to refrain from name calling with these two and engage in civil debate.

I agree, but IMs are open here.  My name should not have to be "A response to AsheDina" to a person seeking to change the way we are, then cause US NAZIS.

I dont fight fair when attacked, and thats the way it is.

I think it would have been a good test case to implement than one-on-one debate thread with Daniel and his queer obsession vs. one representative from the other side like Dr. Dan or KWRBT. Sometimes, when someone defends his opinions alone against many who are opposed, he can't help feeling belligered.

No, it was ambiguous..

It could have been Belligerent...

People should attempt to use English words with proper grammar in order to be understood. Sometimes people here are too 'lazy' to correct their spellings even when the spell checker highlights improperly spelled words. If a person wants to appear lazy and ignorant then spelling mistakes are acceptable, but if they expect people to listen to their ideas they should attempt to express them properly, with proper spelling and grammar.

Im sorry Bullcat3... I do not mean this as an insult or anything derogatory. What is wrong with trying to exhort people to write in a manner which is understandable to others? Certainly we all are on different levels, we are different ages, and sometimes speak different native languages. But we should attempt to use proper English in the English forum.

I really am sorry if you find my suggestions irritating, that is not my intention at all..

Muman, intelligence is nothing without diplomacy and commonsense.

People do not come here to be called stupid or lazy.
Some of the smartest people I know don't have good grammar or spelling abilities.
I would put my life in their hands though.
I wouldn't trust you, with my life, and you are super intelligent.

If you can't understand what someone means, ask them to explain or skip the post.
Don't pretend that they made up a word.  That is stupid if you ask me.  No offense meant.
For many of our members English is a second language.

I think he just made a mistake, Muman.  Zelhar is very intelligent and usually types well here.   He's not one of these serial english-destroyers we sometimes get.

Why most certainly!

This forum certainly can use a little "name calling" to spice things up!      :o

Exactly!

Yes.  The point of a forum is to discourage people, with poor grammar and spelling, from sharing their thoughts.
Good grammar and spelling are the most essential qualifications to post.  ::)

BC3,

 Im sorry but your suggestion above is EXACTLY what I did before you started to get belligerent with me.

Here is my initial message:
Quote from: muman613
Please define 'belligered'... It is not an English word.

There is nothing insulting or denigrating in my question. I simply stated that the word 'belligered' does not make sense to me, I initially suspected belligerent but he actually meant beleaguered...

Why does BC3 always take such a tone with me? I have nothing but good intentions in trying to get members to write their ideas in a manner which is understandable.

I do not imply that Zelhar did anything wrong...

Yes, I did say this... But it was not specifically adressed to Zelhar...

I do sometimes get a little frustrated that so many people are willing to hit the send button with posts full of spelling and other errors.

But I don't think I say this is a derogatory way... Im really sorry if this sounded derogatory..
