Aye, @columbus can occasionally show good cheer.
He isn't always a roiling cauldron of bile bent on making God cry.
Yes, he has bad days. Just like everyone else

That was not friendly. And even violates RF Rule #8 I think.That is a stupid question.
Again your opinion about what I was thinking.Obviously it didn't
Again "in my humble opinion" is the way to go. This is a forum for God's sake. We never met except virtual and you make such a claim about me. That makes no sense.You had nothing to share
If you phrase it like this, that's already better.To say that anybody suddenly claiming understanding they won't share is most probably just lying.
Stating opinions as a definitive matter of fact (i.e., without "I believe/feel/think" language, and/or without references) may be moderated as preaching.
It's his being a conservative against my being a liberal.I always thought it was due to some Big Ten rivalry between the two of you. Indiana vs. Michigan - that sort of thing.
I've upped my chocolate dosage.I hope your getting medication for that

Although.....Columbus (Ohio) is where Ohio State sits.
"Oh how I hate Ohio State"
in my old neighborhood.....I'm sure some of you would have your bell rung for the lack of respect you display here if you displayed such in real life.
I see that some of them have become posters here on RF.in my old neighborhood.....
a total stranger might approach
not say a word
and then slam a fist into your eye socket
hard enough to knock down
it happened more than once
no words
total stranger

I hope I don't come across as a jerk too often, but I do see a couple of big differences between interactions in-person and online that change the dynamic so that I'm more willing to debate highly emotional topics line than in person:In the heat of debate, why do some of you feel the need to behave like a jerk or be disrespectful to get your point across?
I've been in heated debates, while I occasionally resort to sarcasm or snark either to get my point across or to inject humor, I do my best to maintain a level of respect for the person with which I'm engaged.
I wonder why others here struggle to do the same. Would you walk up to someone on the street and speak with someone the way you do here? I'm sure some of you would have your bell rung for the lack of respect you display here if you displayed such in real life.
Is it because you have a degree of anonymity here?
Does behaving like a jerk to others somehow make you feel better about yourself?
Most of it looks like virtue signaling to me, trying to look good to some other people, or to entertain them. People do get “like”s and sometimes even “winner”s for it.In the heat of debate, why do some of you feel the need to behave like a jerk or be disrespectful to get your point across?

Not for what they’re doing it for. They aren’t doing it to convince the other person. They’re doing it to look good to some other people.The funniest thing about people resorting to insults is that it discredits their own argument in the eyes of the person they are arguing with. So it is actually counter productive.
I can only speak for myself:
I'm immature, emotional, and impatient.
I didn’t see him saying that they aren’t.What, those are good qualities.
I've also heard to argument that people who hold wrong opinions mustNot for what they’re doing it for. They aren’t doing it to convince the other person. They’re doing it to look good to some other people.
There are some topics where a person's stance on an issue reflects on their character.This isn't really what I'm talking about. I see nothing wrong with a heated debate tempered with a bit of sarcasm.
But there are those that resort to attacking someones character or write something with the intent to belittle. These are the sort of posts I'm talking about. Those who are simply behaving like jerks.
