You really are acting like an idiot here.
Quote:Clearly you just don't want to understand the difference between a post with emotion, that might have a bit of swearing, and acting like a complete and utter dick. To you they're one and the same. I think to most everyone else they're not that short-sighted.The problem with using emotional rhetoric is that one person's "post with emotion" and another's "acting like a complete and utter dick" are subjective. For the most part, just skipping the emotional rhetoric and making a point is better.
That being said, I will say that some types of conversations lend themselves better to emotional rhetoric than others. If a thread is "How do you feel about rape," an emotionless response would probably represent some kind of psychosocial maladjustment. Personally, I usually participate in threads about mind vs. matter, the nature of reality, and things like that; they rarely lend themselves to an appropriate use of rhetoric.
I also don't like the slippery slope in which disgust with religious ideas opens the door for emotional rhetoric by religious people-- I don't really want to hear ad nauseam how some Christian's relationship with Jesus the Savior has brought sunshine into his life, when the thread is about proving God exists.
