(November 24, 2013 at 8:19 am)I and I Wrote: I just joined several days ago, haven't started that many threads or responded in many threads yet people here are insulting me from the beginning.
Is this allowed in the forum? If so, then can I insult them back?
I haven't seen it myself but as long as there is reasoned discussion go for it.
Example "you are an idiot" may be frowned on but "you are an idiot because..." (insert reason for idiocy), will be better tolerated.
Caveat: The first usage may still be acceptable if you have just made a particularly stupid post.
Context is everything.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
