No, not necessarily...but if you want to be taken seriously with 128 posts it's generally beneficial to make a thorough and well reasoned argument, not just call all men "STOOOPID" without reading the thread and realizing that no one is making the statement you assume is being made.
Oh. So how it would have been acceptable if the poster had 1,100 post then ? Or lil rep stars all across the screen ? That post is no different then any posted up on this board at any given time.
Actually in some cases it wasn't nearly as bad by comparison but I called those other posters out on it as well....and in those cases using far stronger language. Had it been a poster who had established credibility before making a blanket, generalized, inflammatory statement as Ravi did in post #13 I would have handled it as I did in post #16....basically I called her out on it too but in a slightly more respectful manner as she has earned that respect. Someone with 128 posts hasn't earned any respect nor have they established any credibility. One is just
starting to at 2,000 posts let alone 128.
So when they make a blanket, generalized, inflammatory statement they are going to be treated with less respect and credibility because they have yet to earn it. If Mary would like to come back and start establishing that with intelligent, well-reasoned, and thorough arguments instead of letting you fight her battles for her I might start taking her a bit more seriously.
