Tone isn't necessary when words are strong.

This is getting beyond absurd, Tenet.

Nice "throw it back at the other person" technique.

It's not nice.

Confrontation means confronting another person directly, in a personal way.
Posting videos about the meat industry isn't confrontational at all, because that's what this thread is about. We all post videos all the time, and they aren't directed at anyone personally. Nothing confrontational about that.

sigh
Intellectual discussion isn't confrontation.
Even heated debate isn't confrontation.
I didn't expect this from you, Tenet.

I find your entire "BS" post highly offensive, and you continue. I have never addressed you personally in this thread. For you to do that to me, and then to yossarian, is offensive. You have made a philosophical discussion into something personal.
(04-01-2012, 08:48 PM)Tenet Nosce Wrote: That is about you, not them.
Actually, this thread isn't about me at all. It's about meat. For you to make the thread about me, is derailing.

Now you're getting aggressive. Take a chill pill, Tenet. You sound really butthurt.
