I gotta go! Might be grounded from this point on but I don't know when the next time I'll be on. So bye y'all! And thanks Alex for EVERYTHING!

^.^ people only say things like this because they dont want to say anything worse. Sometimes people over react, i for one, dont really over react things like insults. yes they are a waste of time, but it is just one way people can describe their feelings without putting it in a harsh way! -Ramones- is a really good debater in my opinion, and people have no right to bring his name up in this topic. he is doing nothing wrong. i understand where he comes from, yet i have my own opinion. (sorry for bringing your name up even though i said no one has the right to do that. but you are a good debater and you do have good points!)

*jumps in, gives outs hugs, and leaves after a quick point* Calling names draws away from the true point you are trying to make. But when someone repeatedly walks in circles to tell you how wrong you are it can be frustrating. Maybe that's when we should all just stop, step back, and see how we are handling it. Is there another way to say the same thing to make my point or should I just shake my head and ignore such a person?

That's what i been thinking. I tried to ignore one person once and they end up going around telling people that they powned me. That's not cool right there. The same happen with me and Ozi but we settle that already. But other people is just annoying and it makes debating less fun.

Just in case you have not read my post on this, i think you have the right to know i did use your name. You make sense with everything you say. I can see how you think, you are a good debater. That is all i have to say on that subject.

Some people are more sensitive than others, especially when they are going through a hard time. There is no way of knowing everything that is going on in other people's lives on KW, so it's best to just stay away from insults, even if you don't find them insulting.  I am not saying Ramones isn't a good debater and didn't mention his name in the main post. This thread isn't even specifically about him. Plenty of debaters use insults, and many atheist debaters, myself included, have used the word "ignorant." This doesn't help our cause since it just leads to fighting instead of getting our points addressed.

I meant that I hope your (Alex) point sticks. My cat was typing for me so any errors is her fault.

Good point. I am Athiest yes, i stay away from insults as much as i can, in fact.... I dont use them very often, and i have used them only 3 or 4 times on kw.
