Take a look at THIS page of a now-locked thread over at AHA. Feel free to read the whole thing but the fireworks are on Page 4, the linked page. I can't tell you all how tired I am of people that can't find a way to communicate without resorting to what HabeasCorpus thought he had to do on that page. Regardless of who is right, wrong, etc., are adults able to have a conversation without resorting to this kind of attack? It's exchanges like this that sent me running from the blueboard in the first place... except it happened over and over and over again. We can disagree and we can have different opinions and we can agree to disagree. But there is no reason to do that. My mind started wandering after two posts, what happened?

Arguing just for the sake of arguing and general dickishness.

One thing. If moonshaddow makes his way over here, he should be the lone member that is can change his user name. I think Zaph mentioned that on a sailing forum on which everyone used their real names, even Mexas was polite. Screen names can be fun, but I go by the general rule that I write every post as if my real name is on it. In my case it pretty much is, it's just truncated. Most get it right on the first guess.

You are the same person online as you are IRL. I can't remember a time on the blueboard where you needed to drop some rude truth on someone just so you could exercise your online right of being a dick. I don't hold a grudge against people who feel like they need to act a different way than they are online but I'm not sure I fully understand it either. Where did I first see this? Blueboard? It's totally on point:
