I think a lot of it all comes from being able to sense either sarcasm, or just someone that is too pissed to think straight, and brush it off. Some people stay away from topics that they know get them riled up...like Politics...you won't see much of me in there. Others still have to figure that out, and they are usually pretty easy to pick out of the crowd.

Civil arguments are fun, really. Usually, somebody (typically both parties) learn something, and have an increased respect for the others' knowledge, provided that they actually had a clue as to what they were talking about...and that usually shines through as well. If you have a clue, you'll make sense, and not talk in circles so much. You probably won't contradict yourself, either. If you have no clue, the previous statement is false in your case.

I love this place, I have about seven sublevels that I frequent in here, and a couple more that I peek in to, just for fun. I want to poke around more, but am afraid that I'll see something that just trips my trigger, and go off and have a freakin' caniption!

Anyways...have fun, y'all. Keep it civil, respect others, and above all...KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS! Meaning, know what will piss you off, and avoid it, if you can't stay civil about it. It really is that simple.

Thanks, sweetie, and don't worry, I'm thoroughly addicted by now and I'm not going anywhere.

And about the south bashing, keep fighting the good fight and making reasonable and polite replies. Nothing makes ignorance stand out more than rational disdain

And if you think it crosses the line, go ahead and report it!

Heh... I don't really remember this thread at all, interesting little window into the past.

Yeah, sometimes the content goes a little dry, or stupid, but overall I think this place is a wonderful array of thoughts, ideas, emotions and convictions, and does pretty damn well.

(glad you stayed

Hey lurkette, I faintly remember this thread from a while back. I am glad you stayed as I too am one of the TFPers that finds your posts insightful, passionate, and in some senses, liberating.

Boils down to the simple fact that we all have differing opinions and ways we share them. It is our responsibility to filter that which we want in, and verbally assault those we want out.

Hehehehe....totally kidding bout that last part.
