    Where has the respect gone on these boards? :eek: 

    I'd listen to Friedman if I were you...he means business :)

    I didn't make any personal attacks because I don't know this guy personally. When i say that he is stupid, I'm basing that off of the things he has said in this thread. I'm assuming that you're some type of moderator, so if me commenting on his intelligence or lack thereof based on the things he has said is a problem for you, then do what you have to do. The guy is a complete idiot though, and I don't see how anyone who has read his posts in this thread could disagree.

    Knowledge,

    You are new to this -- so let me explain. When we refer to personal attacks, we are talking about remarks directed at a specific individual that go beyond civil discourse. I try to keep the journalism board to a higher standard of debate than the "sports & news" or "anything goes" boards.

    You may not agree with zagoshe's posts. Fine. You're entitled. You can write 6,000-word posts detailing why you think his argument is wrong. Go ahead, break down his debate word-by-word. But just because you don't agree doesn't make him "a complete idiot" and doesn't give you licence to attack him in a way a thirteen-year-old or bad talk radio host would.

    By the way, that goes for him, too. And judging by his (funny) response, he got the message.

    Thanks.

    ADVANTAGE: KNOWLEDGE

    It's useless to go back and forth with some of these people. They WON'T give up and they WILL stalk you.

    Zagoshe does seem to have gotten the message more clearly than his counterpart (and I seem to recall that Knowledge IS the one who started making it personal with the idiot/stupid type stuff). Knowledge, you've got some well-reasoned stuff, but you seem to take posters contradicting or disagreeing with you a bit personally, a contrasting opinion does not make someone an idiot.

    Evidently you haven't read my posts and you're just reacting to specific words that I use. I didn't call him an "idiot" or question his intelligence because he is disagreeing with me, I called him an idiot because he is acting like a stupid, foolish person. In case you didn't know, the word idiot is a real word with a real definition and I happen to think that the behavior Zagoshe has displayed in this thread fits parts of the definition. It's not that big of a deal though, this is just a discussion that I found interesting and wanted to weigh in on. I'll keep it moving.

    You're actually wrong, and you probably should mind your business. Zagoshe is the 1 who 1st characterized my opinions and feelings on this topic as "idiotic". I'm just not that sensitive, as long as the discussion is on topic and we aren't just name calling just to name call, then speak ya mind. That's how I feel.

    Knowledge54 -- Are you having problems reading what the Moddy wrote?

    Drop it already man, just drop it.

    What are we going to do now go sifting through 100 posts to see who said what first? Why are you so defensive about everything all the time?

    Not only do you seem to have the intelligence of a toddler, you act like 1 as well. I don't have to sift thru anything, I have something called a brain that allows me to recall past events.

    Jesus, stop it. Insult him by PM, but spare the rest of us the idiocy that is you two's argument.

    Shut up, SC. This can only be finished once they whip out their dicks and measure them to see whose is bigger.
