You delete posts based on if the op was a " jerk " to other players who comment , and claim that everybody on the board deserves respect . This goes against the basics of life . How can i respect someone who displays on my post all of his intellectual flaws , provocative rethroric , false statement and many other things that juste disgusts you from any human using them .
Chermorg13 votesIf you think someone is displaying faulty logic, you are more than welcome to attack their logic with logic of your own.
You are not allowed to attack their person. For someone who claims that you know about rhetoric, you seem to forget that ad hominems are never an appropriate logical argument to make, and in fact just serve to show you’ve run out of logic to use.
Feel free to call someone out by showing evidence to contradict them. Do not insult, harass, or abuse them.

DuskDaUmbreon7 votesThe golden rule of life is "don't be a jackass until they prove they deserve it".
You don't have to earn basic courtesy. You can lose it, which might require you to earn it back, but you do not have to earn it in the first place.
HalcyonDweller7 votesRespect may be earned (or lost), but basic decency is owed. Remember that.
Eleshakai2 votesWhat people call 'respecting' someone is often just common decency. It is the basic foundation of discourse.
I don't have to respect someone to listen to what they have to say, consider it carefully, and respond politely. It is simply common decency.
Don't insult people, consider what they have to say, and respond politely and thoughtfully. It's really not a difficult concept.
RookPusher2 votesThat is not the golden rule. Don't co-opt something to prove a point.
King Braum1 votesYes respect has to be earned though you should still aim to be a respectable person yourself so please do try and stay polite.
