Why do people get personal?

When discussing topics that they have an opposing view to.

IMO it is because they have neither the wit nor the ability to

carry on the argument conversation enough to get their point across

Sometimes it could be easy to forget that IDs are real people, and what is an intense discussion for one person, can be hurtful agression to another...just my thoughts. I try to post with courtesy and an open mind.

I think we all have posted the odd "dig" to another ID but there have been some who, by means of long, scrolling often red font or what ever, have sought to intimidate and make others feel small and insignificant all the while coming across to gentler souls as a bully and egotist. One in particular springs to mind who I haven't seen posting for a while now. Let's say he/she had a style of posting like the above-mentioned. No loss that's for sure.

I think we've all done it at some time or another.

I was being kind 🙂

If you are referring to the coloured, intrusive font etc - no, only a few IDs posted/post in that manner that I've seen anyway. Must frighten off new, inexperienced posters but then again that's probably the gameplan.
