You may be ok with that, but not all people are and you two are annoying some users on this thread right now; I wouldn't receive reports otherwise. This kind of speech you're holding, with words such as shitty, dumb, stupid, awful tends to make arguments escalate fast due to their depreciatory nature, making the other user feel isolated, humiliated and inclined to formulate a more violent response. Fortunately, he decided to stand down. Next time, do not engage if it infuriates you.

And yes, you're on the verge of violating rule #10: You have the right to express your opinion, as long as it is relevant, justified, and presented in a civil manner. The bolded is where you're at fault. You lacked civility while arguing with Mike.

I recall a certain mod saying to you: ''You can have the best argument in the world and still lose due to the presentation of your point.'' Does it ring any bell?

Again, it's not about what you think is okay to do, it's about what the rules tell you what is okay to do.

But I'm nice. I'm just arguing with you instead of blantantly moderating you. Now let's move on. Make your peace with Mike, if it isn't already done.

Arguments stand or fall on their own merit.  If the point stands, the point stands whether it's presented nicely or otherwise.  And I'm not really infuriated.  Annoyed maybe, but far from infuriated.  I like cursing when appropriate and I prefer blunt language.  Might cause me to come across as angrier than I actually am.

I asked you to correct me if I was wrong on the rules, and I stand corrected.  I was under the impression that it was ok to disparage arguments as long as you weren't actually criticizing the person.  That's also the impression I got from what typically goes on in threads.  If I was wrong on that, I'll try and be more careful on my wording in the future. 

Glad to read this. Have a great day.
