Default Re: Colbert is Rude

Manasecret, we (at least I do, I can't speak for them) do get "it".
Assuming a little too much?

I'll speak personally, because I can't for them.

I want nothing from him. Considering me and him were having a civilized conversation. To be lumped into this escalation between Dylan and Strangler makes it seem like you didn't even read the thread and just felt now would be a good time to jump in and see what comes of it.

You may not understand why all of us argue on the boards. It's because we're all strongly opinionated. Just because we go post our opinions in different ways, doesn't mean we believe any "less strongly" than who we happen to be talking to.

I prefer talking to people who are willing to and in fact do tell me I'm wrong (it happens a lot), and back it up with logic, reason, and facts. To me, that's a sign that that person intellectually respects me enough not to just gloss over what he/she really thinks.
The thing about logic and reason, is that they're clearly subjective. The classic fallback to explain that is God vs Science. Each side won't really ever understand the other side's without being patronizing. As for facts, we're most of the time jabbering back and forth about personal opinions on politics. Like why someone believes what they do, why someone acts some way they do. And there's no "fact" for that.

What bugs me so much about the posters in this forum, is that while they (not directed at anyone in particular) take everything with a grain of salt, they think whoever their arguing with is taking the words to heart.

I may argue back with Strangler a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm letting the words get to me. It just means I'm debating back. Just as he is.
