My independent analysis

All I'm saying is that insulting people just because they have a different view of "reality" is childish and immature. You don't have to agree, or be converted, but everyone should at least treat others humanely.

I do treat others humanely. When have I not? This is, of course, outside of the obvious occasion when I was trying to get banned. :p

I know, I'm just saying for the edification of the membership.

Oh, you mean, the...other people. Damn newbies.

There are other people here besides Raistlin?

Not that matter, anyway. :rolleyes2

Hey, guys. :cool:

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! xD

So this is how you get back at me, eh?

Calling someone a hypocrite when they are being a hypocrite isn't an insult as long as you are going by the definition. With something like that it is mainly a black and white thing with very little grey area because either you are or you aren't.

Long story short it isn't a flame if it is true.

"you're a hypocrite" isn't a flame.

"you're a hypocrite, you for brains" is.

If that's true, then people aren't flaming as often as people complain. People are stupid and getting heated, but half of the threads that were locked shouldn't have. Beyond a statement like "youre a hipokrite", there isn't much flaming.

:laugh: Then why was I banned?

Nobody here says hipokrite.

I don't know, but I guess I could look. I certainly wouldn't ban someone for calling someone else a hypocrite, at least depending on how they said it.

edit: I'd have defended you in that case ed, except I was on vacation. see what happens when they let me leave for a week?

ed, I'm sure we could find something else if we really tried. Feel free to take that last sentence too seriously and use it to further your malcontent agenda, not that it ever needs help. :)
