Its people who try unbelievably hard to fit into the PC brigade, even if it means continually arguing their point after they have been proven wrong that get to me.All just to get an imaginary pat on the back or a "like" from faceless internet posters.

They are the type that will put words in your mouth and then have a :rolleyes: smiley face at the end of their post in a vain attempt to make it look like they are "Holier than thou".

A poster on here once tried this on me because i claimed i was wrongly arrested one time...Then a couple months later i saw him brag about how he went murdering civilian women in Iraq! Its amazing what an internet persona can do for some people.

With the amount of posters who are so intent on being labeled into a particular category (conservative, liberal, middle class, working class etc..) coupled with how some people are clearly incapable of preventing themselves from making discussions personal, I'm surprised the place isn't full of feuds.

In my opinion, whatever issue debated in one thread should be left there, unless the issue in question is directly related somehow. Holding grudges over a difference in opinion is stupid, and those who do so, go down significantly in my estimation. Unfortunately, this is something that does occasionally occur on here, usually resulting in a minor passive aggressive internet "feud" of sorts.

I generally like to avoid confrontation, but I have no issue in pointing out various distraction tactics, pointless one liners or other underhanded techniques I've noticed that a poster frequently uses when in discussion to muddle the debate to their advantage. Something that sadly occurs much too often on this site. The dishonorable method of dragging up an unpopular post from an unrelated issue to discredit someone they are debating with is, in my eyes, one of the most pathetic and desperate things a person can do. To me, they are admitting that they cannot dispute the points the poster has made. They are like the wounded cowboy with no bullets throwing his gun at the enemy.

Closest thing to a feud I've been in? Another account where I disagreed with a particular poster over a certain issue. He couldn't articulate himself and his opinion was not well supported. He followed me around for awhile quoting my posts and responding with deliberately obtuse comments. He eventually got bored and stopped. Another poster threatened to kill me on here, but I think that was all just "Internet Hardman" stuff, I assume he may have some issues with anger though. I'm still alive anyway.

If someone wanted to have a feud with me, they would have to be extremely patient because it would take me about a week to come up with a good enough comeback .

I'd assumed as much but after taking a look at his blog, it appears that he is indeed a real person, or at least, is impersonating a real person (which would obviously be far worse).
