It depends on from whom the comments came, really. I'm used to name calling and such from some people on TFP, but there are a lot of members from which it would likely mean that I need to examine what I'm saying or doing.
If host ever posted in response to something I wrote in the way he did on page 1, (after I was finished crying) I'd really have to sit back and reexamine what I was trying to say because I know that while host can be somewhat passionate about things from time to time, generally I find myself agreeing with him most of the time. And it's not about backing off of something I feel passionately about. Host and I debated seriously about abortion and father's rights and I found that I had to reexamine what I was saying several times to make sure that what I was posting was not only honestly what I feel but that it made sense. And I've made plenty of nonsensical points on TFP, believe you me. It's because I know that my fellow board members are honest with me that I am so open to learn here. If I say something stupid, even my best TFP friend will call me on it and they won't pull any punches.
Do I agree with "shut the fuck up"? Not really. I agree with the message but not the method by which it was delivered. Same thing with "fool". I'm surprised, though, that instead of self reflection those inspired you to basically lock down completely. DC_Dux practically had to take a jackhammer to get you to admit that you don't actually know most of what you're basing your opinion on.
