Are people here too rude?

[FrustratedFool]

People can be rude all they want. It's about how you respond to it.

Well that's my secondary question.

Should I continue as I usually am, which garners derision and seems unpalatable to most. Or should I just be obnoxiously rude and aggressive, which seems to be what people prefer?

And how did you vote?

Are you even able to do the second option?

[FrustratedFool]

You mean is it against the rules here? Good question. I'm not sure where the lines are drawn with rudeness.

No, I mean, can you bring yourself to be rude and obnoxious when that's not in your nature?

[FrustratedFool]

It isn't against my nature.

On a tangential question, as it seems the preferred way of communicating on this forum is to be insulting, dismissive, aggressive, and hounding, should someone such as myself be better served forgetting the restrained and dispassionate civil posting style, and just play the same game as the majority?

In other words, rather than posting as I do, would it be better thought of here if I just called people cunts etc?

Why should you allow others to control your own behavior?

You mean you’re not already obnoxiously rude and aggressive? Huh.

And you don’t need to ask people how they voted, just click on ‘Show results’.

It's about what practically works best. If method X doesn't work, try method Y.

No, I'm not.  At least not on the level of posters here.  But iirc, you have expressed exasperation at the way I post and would prefer if I was blunt and rude.  Do you really think I should be insulting and aggressive, or stay as I am?

I don’t much care, one way or the other.
