Oh look, more rudeness and he wonders why no-one really responds to him, at this rate, will only be me & Steve. |

If you think someone posting a message challenge such as "An expected side step with little merit" is rudeness then you really need to subscribe to the Wiltingflowers-R-Us forum |

He's arguing the person, not the content, that's rudeness within debating culture, hence ad hominem, I try to keep it on subject, but he as always, makes it about the person. Probably why most don't respond to him much. |

Not rudeness, facts. You made statements that when pressed you could not back up because you've been winging it. |

Report it then, we need a laugh sometimes. Or maybe you should actually read the post you say is an ad hominem first. Or maybe we should look at some of your recent posts to compare. Here's a clue "An expected side step with little merit" is attacking the message "Aren't we a cry baby" is attacking the person Perhaps you might want to get back to debating the topic at hand. |

I said it's outdated, and shown you examples, but keep attacking the person, instead of what I responded with. |

So, let me get this straight, instead of improving it, you'd rather remind the poster that he did it once, so carry on. Maybe if it improved site wide, you know call out any ad hominem, that means Tigger can not post anymore, but oh-well. Edited by Dan1989, Apr 24 2017, 09:17 PM.

I'll say it again, in my last post, just because I did, should everyone else. I only responded in kind, after a longer period of receiving it. |

A poster made a public accusation that another poster was breaking the rules and gave a very specific quote of where this was supposed to have occurred. Perhaps you feel that a mod should ignore such, perhaps you feel that it shouldn't be equally publicly answered, perhaps you feel that my explanation was incorrect Please clarify - by PM if you wish - as frankly I'm mystified as to just what point you are making |
