Only if we devalue our own discourse. If it is going to be "only" that, first we'd have to go down to that level. There is something to be said for taking off the kid gloves and going at it sometimes. Both types of posters can still have good ideas. I have even learned while people are "insulting" me (I use quotes there because it is almost impossible to get me to take offense to something you "say" to me).Hate to see you go, BAC.
You were an asset to the forums. Soon it will be nothing but hate-spewing morons. Civil discussions are fading fast.
