I haven't knowingly insulted you Withano. I only insult when someone insults me. I'm not saying I'm a paragon of virtue... I am saying that the whole feel of S&D, which has always been a little tense, is worse now than I've ever known it. I don't know what the answer is. Try to ignore those who try to insult you while remaining within the rules? I'll try that again... but you know, some people are persistent.

I'm not sure if many people knowingly insult others.. It seems to me, more one-up-manship, until somebody eventually crosses the line.
I think serious debates have got more.. serious.. because of the recent **** that went on.. brexit, trump, ge17 (admittedly, I dont know where the anti-muslim rhetoric has stemmed from, was there much of this before the referendum?).. but this hasnt been a normal 12 months for Western politics..
SD might revert to normal once the backlash of ge17, brexit, and trump dies down because I cant think of many upcoming political milestones as big as these in the near future
