That's not what I meant and you know it. You were talking about arguments in terms in insults being thrown and driving threads off topic. That bit of text you quoted in red is referring to an argument that I have stated repeatedly now is a friendly one not intended to insult. One that is discussing the topic. A form of argument otherwise known as 'debate'. If you don't want one, stop engaging in one.

Talk about exemplifying points succinctly. You came in here complaining that people are driving threads off topic by not replying to the actual points being made and that is exactly what you are doing now. I have given you my opinion on why the forum is so much quieter now and instead of engaging with the opinion or saying 'No thank you, I disagree' and moving on you've seen fit to go on the dreaded Pyramid* moralistic "I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT AND THIS IS MY OPINION AND I AM ME AND YOU ARE YOU" rampage.

Beyond. Reason. To hell with you.
