You see it that way? Many times I ignore people, no matter what
they say when it is blatantly stupid. Sure, they will keep on
saying their blatantly stupid things and I keep on ignoring them,
until I want to have some fun with them and show them how stupid
they are.
If your defend yourself skillfully, then what you say will not
happen. The stupid people will have to resort to name-calling when
they lose. Name calling, you can totally ignore because that is
just primary school mentality and nobody will say that "silence =
consent or admittance of guilt" because everyone will recognize how
stupid the one doing the name-calling is.
Like for example, they call you a "toad". Let them keep on calling
and see if people think that "silence = consent or admittance of
guilt" or they think that the name-caller has a primary school
mentality.
But if they say, "when you say this and that, you, because you
ignore that and that, you are sotong." "Sotong" in this case is not
name calling because what it means is that you are blur and they
have spelled out why they conclude that you are blur.
In the first instance, "toad" is name-calling because the name
caller did not say why you are a toad, but the second is not name
calling because it was a conclusion and the person explained how he
came to that conclusion.
If the reasons are true, then "sotong" is true! If the reasons are
not true, then "sotong" is not true!
They way I see it is that, there are many people that have no idea
how to make a good argument, understand what a good argument
is.
Those that are simply giving their opinions and without arguing why
their opinions make sense (one-liner opinions) just ignore
them.
They are anonymous nicks and who cares about their opinion when you
have no way of knowing how they arrived at their opinions?
Those that take their opinions to heart are stupid people because
they do not know how that chap came to his opinions.
Stupid people, you ignore.
I am sure that you can think of many examples, since you have been
here a while, those that are incorrigible baseless opinion givers.
Just ask them, why do you say that and it will shut them up.
If they dare to explain, it will expose their stupidity.
