ORIGINAL: tazzygirl I find it amusing, Panda, that these are the two who screech about how the government never tells the truth, yet is readily able to accept the anthrax attacks were perpetuated by a man with no motives beyond.. a sick sense of humor? The name calling no longer bothers me. I just chalk it up to them being unable, and unwilling, to define their argument when called upon it. Neither offers up support for their positions, which i find interesting, and at times laughable. I get a kick out of it too, because I'm a coldblooded sonofabitch and I enjoy watching people I don't like make fools of themselves. So in that sense, I really do find the meltdowns amusing. But at the same time, unlike you the namecalling does bother me. Far more than it amuses me. Not because I mind when children call me names or stick their tongues out at me, but because of what it does to the level of debate around here. They're lowering the tone of the discussion and dragging it down into the mud, which discourages intelligent posters from participating. And who can blame them? What's the point? You spend a half hour researching, formulating, and typing a thorough and intelligent argument, and the response is that Lucky comes swinging down out of the trees and calls you some childish name. Or if not Lucky, Willbe. Or whomever. What's the point of even trying to have a discussion if that's where it's going to wind up?
