At least you are getting a glimmer of the silliness of your position. See? Progress is being made. :thumbup:

I can see why you would think it's silly, but I honestly believe it should be enforced. :satansmoking:

The forum would probably be a lot less popular then, though. People like to rag on each other.

Attempting to make over eveyone in your image and likeness is far more destructive than any perceived sin of mine.

One facet about behavior in a specific forum within a larger forum.

It's already found it's way here in the form of personalisms. :wink:

We DO, however, strive for complete sentences. That way we don't have to guess what the fuck another member is trying to communicate.

Should?


That's calling the kettle black. :lol:

If you really need clarity, add "I'm talking about" to the beginning of my sentence, in response to "wanting to make people in my likeness".

I am not the one who needs clarity. I communicate very well.

Your clarity is good, that was a jab at telling someone else to use complete sentences. "Should?" is not a complete sentence.

But no, I don't think wanting everyone to aim for constructive criticism is a bad thing. Free will be damned.



Who determines what constructive is and how that is presented?

A mod would I guess. I know I won't be pushing for the change, that would be like pushing a boulder up a hill.

I don't want to see extensive change, but I dislike that personalisms are a no-go but an insults - not criticism, just empty insults - to argument are permitted.

E.G. "Sunblock doesn't help at all. Thinking sunblock works is retarded." There's a claim and an insult to argument, but no substance. It's not constructive.

E.G. "Sunblock isn't as helpful as many think. Chemical A has been found to increase sun absorption. (source)" is constructive.

This place would be a tomb in a short time.  Humans are emotional creatures and we need to replace our warlike conflict with the rather harmless sport like conflicts we have here.. :satansmoking:

That's not a personalism. It's a piss-poor debating tactic.

Muzzling people because they make shitty arguments (unsubstantiated attack on an idea) sucks just as much as allowing it. Given the choice, I lean toward letting people do what they do as long as it's not disruptive.

Calling [fill in the blank] stupid is poor form and easily defeated by a considered counter argument. Instead of whining that someone called your pet idea stupid and didn't substantiate it, go on the offensive and show us how weak that argument is and how much better yours is.

I think that's a lot more interesting than a muzzle to help those with a thin skin and an inability to tear apart an easy point of debate. Besides, we already have a forum for that. PS&P doesn't need to duplicate it.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
