Please show me the personal attacks from me in that thread. The only thing that even came close to a personal attack is the snarky comment that you seem to revel in your ignorance. Mind you, calling you ignorant on the subject is NOT a personal attack - it is an attack on the baseless argument you tried to make and could not support. I very clearly backed up my argument and even cited references, which you never even acknowledged. Where are these personal attacks you are complaining about?
That's not name-calling and, to be perfectly honest, I think One raven just gave an accurate description of your behavior in that thread. You completely ignored the evidence they presented to you, that could be called rude too. Anyway, this is not what the thread is about. As far as I'm concerned this side-issue is done.
in english it is name calling. in all the psychology books i read it says 'the devil is the personification of evil' so how was i wrong?
That is not calling you a name. Ignorance is lack of knowledge on a subject - which you very clearly deomonstrated. The fact that I pointed out your lack of knowledge, with cited references, and you still refused to even acknowledge then, let alone point out where they might be incorrect, is what led me to say that you seem to revel in your ignorance. In response to a very clear point of fact that the word evil is in no way a derivative of devil (which was later supported by Fraggle) your reponse was that you "go with your impulse". That sounds to me like revelling in one's own ignorance.
Nobody does. But watch as none of the people on this thread carry on a temper tantrum about receiving a justified warning for their poor behavior. ~String
again, why are you conflating things? what makes you say this is a temper tantrum? is it because it is critical of you? is it because it point out an injustice?
No it is not. As I said to you on the other thread, look it up - unless, of course, you prefer to remain ignorant so you can continue to revel in your indgnation.
Trust me John. You aren't the first, or the last, that has been critical of me. And, as I explained to you, you broke the rules. Have you bothered to read them? Or is that too much to expect of you? ~String
it most certainly CAN be. there is no excuse for the behaior by you and dwyder. i winder if dwyder and stryder are the same person.
You can stop wondering, they aren't. I wish Stryder was here though, so he could close this thread.. You do know that this kind of thread is against forum rules.. right?
why is it against forum rules? i think this thread has more views and faster than any other in that subforum.
Yes it CAN BE, but it is NOT - not in this case. It can be "name calling" when someone calls another person ignorant as a general term - implying they are ignorant about everything. When someone makes an incorrect statement and claims it as truth, telling that person he is ignorant of the facts is NOT an insult. If someone tells me I am ignorant of something that I am speaking about THEN GOES ON TO SHOW ME WHY I AM WRONG, I listen and try to learn from this person who is obviously more knowledgable than I am. You, on the other hand, refused to acknowledge that I was directly contradicting your argument with cited, supportable fact and continued to spout your ignorant gut feelings. That, John, is revelling in ignorance. I am not looking to be excused. I make no apologies. I did nothing wrong at all. They are not - I can assure you.
