How to disagree
polycounter lvl 18
Fun little read I thought.
"But the greatest benefit of disagreeing well is not just that it will make conversations better, but that it will make the people who have them happier. If you study conversations, you find there is a lot more meanness down in DH1 than up in DH6. You don't have to be mean when you have a real point to make. In fact, you don't want to. If you have something real to say, being mean just gets in the way."

The first thing I thought of while reading was someone has to have responded with "u r a fag!"
Poppycock and bollocks, these interweb hoodlums have no shame. Upstanding, well-read gentlemen like ourselves require no "guide" for the vulgar and often inappropriate name-calling that forms the bulk of any truly intelligent disagreement.

I disagree. Per128 is an ass, of course he would say that while pretending to hint at sarcasm. He cannot properly use punctuation marks. The point is, one must be straight before considering the rewards of homosexuality. Clearly he is mistaken. And a cock. What level is this?
anyone know the number of a good t-shirt printer?
My 360 streams porn.
Anyway, internet insults are so mediocre. Boiling it down to bodily waste or sexual practices that you are too ignorant to acknowledge. Meh. Someone post the link to "When Insults Had Class"

for which read :
"you have spent less time playing this game/sat in front of a pc than me"

Nothing to do with games or sitting at a PC.
I didn't read the article, but did I conform to the correct way of disagreeing?
