No More Personal Attacks!!!

[Piepalook]

I will treat any racist on the Internet as I would IRL.

I am an admitted racist.
But i believe that you have the right to your beliefs and opinions.
If we had the same viewpoint on matters ,it would be a boring life wouldn't it.

You are trying so hard to get a reaction from me. After communicating more than a 1/2 an hour with the mods its their decision of whats to happen not yours and I know where I stand. So drop it now. I reported this post again. I just feel as a fatherly figure towards You, You may need some more studying. Thanks for your understanding or lack thereoff.

No I am not trying to get a reaction from you. I am simply questioning the mods.

Please cut the bullsh*t. Whether I am a student, whether you are a fatherly figure or whether I need more studying is utterly irrelevant. Stop trolling.

No problem

I am glad you are aware of it now, and why there is so much fuss about him.

But you will not expand on the reasons why would You. No! Once you have grown to become a man you will see things in a different way. I was always banned because i would not report your and others abuse for my views and took it on myself to attack back instead of leaving it to the mods to resolve. Now that will change. My views remain the same I just have more pity and a understanding tolerance toward some members whoever they may be.

Now who is doing what? Please explain what you are doing. As i did you may converse with the mods via PM instead of hijacking this thread and the whole forum with your gripe. I am sure IC or Antowan will be willing to accommodate your requests.

Keep your racist beliefs and opinions to yourself, or you will be banned.

I agree it would be a bit boring, but to me, the advancement of the human race from silly archaic racist beliefs is much more important.

Postman why even bother?

I seriously have a headache from reading all his posts so I'm taking the afternoon off and not responding to him, you should do the same.

The idea of a public forum is to invite debate.
If you can prove me wrong, i will convert.
The ball is in your court!

Racism.

Once you have grown to become a man you will see things in a different way.

I am a man.

I was always banned because i would not report your and others abuse for my views and took it on myself to attack back instead of leaving it to the mods to resolve. Now that will change.

You WISH it was because of simply reporting posts. What an elementary view. You were banned for continuous racial intolerance and hate speech. You get banned for the same thing time and time again.

My views remain the same I just have more pity and a understanding tolerance toward some members whoever they may be.

And that is exactly why you should be rebanned. Telkom, please give this fool a static IP address, please!

Yes, I would like to thank Hitler, Stalin, Mugabe and Verwoed for making life a little less boring for us all.

Life would be a little less complicated, but in no way less boring.

You brought me being a student into the debate. Utter irrelevant nonsense. No matter what I am, who I am and/or where I am, it does not and will not change my views against racists like yourself.

Well spoken.

Yes, constructive debate. POVs inspired by racial hatred are not constructive.

 

[JK8]

Piepa you racist!!

PostmanPot let this be now. I reported your post and will continue to do so until you stop. Maybe its time to stick to the topic or get some study time in. Students only get their chance once. Thereafter they are on their own.

Initial personal attack.

You told me yesterday you are a 20 year old student, you made this information public in your post. That has nothing to do with your gripe but I tried to give you good advise. Now do whatever you fancy and ignore the mods at your own peril. I talk of experience, first hand

Michael Palin: This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction!
John Cleese: No it isn't!
MP: Yes it is!
JC: No it isn't!
MP: Yes it is! An argument is a series of statements intended to establish a proposition! It isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says!
JC: ... It can be.
MP: Oh, this is pointless.
JC: No it isn't!
-- from Monty Python's "The Argument Clinic"

And this which should be at the top of every thread:


http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/blogs/index.php?blog=37&title=debate_vs_argument&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

What's the difference? Put simply, debate is a contest of ideas, while argument is a contest of yelling volume. Debate is conducted with decorum and mutual respect, while argument relies on name-calling and personal attack. Debate is based on appeals to logic, while argument is based on appeals to base emotion, particularly fear, aggression, and an "us vs. Them" mentality often based in xenophobia and bigotry.

Finally, debate and argument have different goals. Debate seeks to inform those who disagree with you, to persuade them of your views through a chain of logical reasoning. The ultimate result of debate is almost invariably both better policy and more knowledgeable debaters. Argument, on the other hand, seeks to vilify those who disagree with you, either to somehow 'punish' them or gain points with some third party. Almost inevitably, argument results in mutual bitterness and little positive result. Tell me, which sounds more effective at changing people's minds? After all, wasn't that the point in the first place?
