No, really, sometimes it does.

Sometimes I'd really like to tell someone, "listen, you're an asshole, really, just one big dripping asshole."

You know those posts where you KNOW what you're reading is sooo much bullshit that you just want to yell at a person?

Sometimes I just want to say "listen, you dumb fuck, you're wrong. I could explain it, but why don't you, for the good of the gene pool, admit you're wrong, and move on."

Man that'd be easy, but it wouldn't be very productive, would it?

No, it wouldn't.

I appreciate that the TFP is a place where if someone wants to call bullshit on me, they have to take the time and explain why. In a civil tone even. I get it, and I appreicate it.

I do enjoy the level of discourse we strive for...but man, sometimes hitting the back button is a real challenge.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or am I the lone neandertal in a group of PhD's?


EDIT:
Ten minutes later....
You realize this is more about the TFP being an agent of civility than the TFP itself, right?
