No it isn't, if someone decides to act like an idiot they deserve to be treated like one, and if we need to throw the occasional rotten tomato, so be it. I am not mean; I am blunt. I never said you were mean. You are blunt, thats for sure. That is why your so popular.

Nah, what if someone's being a do*che and Mach's not here to teach the little whipper snapper. And can we always rely on the cynical quibble from AnoHito to silence the fool? Obviously, I've tried using calm reasoning...but that flies in one ear and out the other, rendering it useless, and I admit I should've know that from the start. We need a few good men (Quasi-feminists need not reply begrudged; it's a quote, deal.) to take up the torch when others aren't around. Scarred was right in his uptake of "bashing". Sure he has the right to uptake the "bashing" but what is the final result. The one being "bashed" may reply with anger and we all went through that before. If he didn't take off the spoiler before when Scarredwolf was nice then he won't do it now. I suggest just giving him a friendly warning and if it continues, then ask the admins to handle it(they'll do it, eventually).

What happens when they become angry and reply? It tends to be an incoherent stream of babble and swearing, not exactly a formidable strategy. You can ask AnoHito, when an idiot flames you like that is when they are at their most vulnerable.

And then more people get involved. Before you know it, we are all involved.

My threads for intelligent discussion end up like this all the time, you are correct. I can summarize them like this:
Machiavelli: *Philosophical idea based on logic* Random person: You're wrong, I don't have a sensible reason, you just are. Machiavelli: *Logical argument* Random person: LIES! LIES! NOEZ! *Covers ears*

It's true a lot of the time though. I shall stop posting in this thread now, unless someone wishes to argue the point.

That's kind of a risk you take when you post in a discussion forum. I know this myself. You can put a lot of logic and sense into a post to get your point across but end up unsatisfied with people who respond. Either they don't have a good counterpoint or are just stubborn, but it's usually a losing battle. I'm not saying that everyone doesn't have a good point, it's just that expecting a bad response comes with the territory.

I just don't care, but I'll wind you up just for amusement anyway. =P
Topic wise...I played Neopets once, but really couldn't see the fascination with it.
Pokémon is dull, so that's probably why.
