Congratulations!
It only took about 12 postings for this particular thread to degenerate into
the all too common name calling and crude feckless remarks.
Do people think it is clever to denigrate and criticise each other in such a
manner?
---
Often, cleverness goes by the wayside when quick retaliation is what
seems to matter and, often, cleverness can't be achieved by the
"injured" party, so the retaliation needed for release / vindication
tends toward brutality.

Or is it just childish 'fun' to pick on some minor point of grammar or
wording and take aim at it?

In an argument here, _any_ fault committed by and which can be
detected and used as ammunition against a foe is acceptable, and
since our weapons are limited to what we can do with words, the
rules of engagement will be determined by the rules of language.
Can't spell? You're a loser. Can't punctuate? You're a loser.
Can't write a short essay? Get your ass over to the gym and learn
how to box.

No wonder we have such an angry and violent society!

We???
Aren't you Canadian?
I thought the most violent thing you guys had going on was hockey...
And the RCMP, when they had to be. Kind of like our Texas Rangers,
no?

Recall that a well respected teacher advised us, "People who descend into
using profanity and insult demonstrate their inability to properly express
themselves".

Who was that teacher?

Another comment, "Criticising the individual personally rather than
debating the ideas they put forward shows weakness!".
---
Why is that in quotes?

Quote:
So 'enough already'?
---
No. The ideas they expressed may not have been what the receivers
of those ideas understood were the ideas being expressed.
For example, when W's dad barfed on the chief chink, it might not
have been because of the food, or jet lag, or any of that crap, it
was probably because of GW's revulsion with their politics and
having to sit down at the same table with someone who made him sick.

Quote:
I'm not impressed.
Anyone else?

So you're not impressed, and you're looking for a following?
If that's true, then it's not likely you'll get more than a few
sheep out there who don't like how they're being shorn.
