FMAJ: What do the rules say about calling people liars and using Nazi
references?
Is that a breach of good manners?
DNAunion: Why don't you first tell me what the rules say about calling
others dishonest? Or insulting them in some other manner (as in Susan's
intended insult of my being a creationist)? And is one not allowed to
counter attack in writing to an unprovoked written attack?
She conflated ID with Creationism - I responded with my own counter
conflation. It's really quite simple. But of course, the attack from "an
insider" when unnoticed. It was not until "the outsider" pointed out the
error by turning the logic of the attack back on the attacker that objections
began being raised.
Look, it is simple. If people treat me fairly, I respond in kind. If people
call me names, I respond in kind. Note the trend. They act - I react: they
attack - I respond.
Once you and the others like Huxter let this incident drop, I will go back to
being polite - as I was before Huxter and Susan made their comments. Until
then, I feel totally justified in "defending" myself as I was not the
instigator.
