Insult-free week

C

Cancel 2020.1

Canceled
In honor of our founding fathers and our fight for independence, I'd like to propose an "insult-free" week for the board starting this coming Monday.

Naturally, not everyone will participate, but I'd urge my fellow posters here to really try it - take the high road, and win debates with better & more persuasive arguments. Insults are the refuge of the weak.

Our national discourse HAS to improve; I have never seen it so bad. Let's do our part here on JPP to improve the climate.
 
And yes - I have occasionally used insults on the board, just to save anyone time from searching. I have endeavored to cut down on this all year (it was my new year's resolution), and have been largely successful.

Starting on July 1st ending on July 8th? I like it. I don't think the liberals on the board will be able to control themselves but it is worth a try!

Perhaps, but you still sound like an idiot.

Try "cutting down" on your wrists, little Thingy.

I suggest longitudinal cuts.

You're on an anonymous chat board in/with america/americans, THE most insane unhealthy society on the planet at the moment. Best of luck to you sir. You can probably scratch Legion off now.

"Win debates" on line? What a silly concept. The only victors I've ever seen are those feckless self-declared victors.
 
after Gabby Giffords was shot in the head I started a civility experiment and asked everyone to join me


I didn't insult anyone for an entire year


I spent that entire year being insulted by every con every time I spoke to them


just like now


it changed nothing

they in fact tried really hard to make me break


I didnt

it me just taught how moralless the right is
