I agree, i would also add that it detracts from the debate rather than adds to it. What purpose does it serve in a debate?
I don't see one tbh. It also prevents those more moderate posters from joining in for fear of being called silly names too, simply because they have a different point of view.
If we are honest then for debate to work we have to add something of substance on the issue in question, we also have to be prepared to listen
to other peoples point of view that we may not even agree with, if you can't at the very least allow the debate to flow without getting aggressive toward a posters post, well then.... that should tell you something... it tells you that you have lost your argument if nothing else.
