Should I then allow clear errors in thinking and facts go
unchallenged, and tolerate such views and ideas that goes against
the facts of events and circumstances ?
If anyone dare to post a point of view in an open forum, the
invitation is open for challenges to be made when anyone disagree
with the position taken.
Same goes for me, as I have received several posts that do not
agree with the positions that I have posted.
What constitute "hitting below the belt" ?
I would consider insulting one's parents, siblings, and ancestors
as "hitting below the belt".
Sarcasm, insults and abuses are nothing new in debate; and depends
very much in the art of delivery that is important - whether it is
done artfully and delivered with a certain degree of finesse, style
and sophistication; or in simple crude and gutter language, which
should be rejected.
If you are discerning enough, you will be able to judge the
differences in the style of writing, contents, and presentation in
all the postings.
Hopefully, I can contribute to improving the standards and quality
of this sgForum, and shall resist to respond in the same manner as
some have delivered, unless "push becomes shove".
