Well that's rather rude feos. It's just a word.

Yep. It's just the most offensive single word I've ever read on this forum. Especially knowing how I treat this site.

And that discredits his entire argument why exactly? I understand being offended, sure, but it's hardly different then getting annoyed over other strong language, especially considering that the intent of that word has shifted more towards slang in recent years.

idk but constantly attacking the character of more or less everyone that disagrees with him (arc) definitely does discredit him.

That discredits his entire argument exactly because it uses the dirtiest sort of cheating in order to enforce his otherwise flawed demands. If you and I have an argument, and you are ready to put effort required to prove me wrong, or, if needed, have a compromise, but I instead hit you with a knife, we can not really expect that the argument is gonna resume the usual way. Because I've just proven that I'm not interested in any outcome really, I'm interested in acting destructively.

You could be the bigger person and critique the actual argument being presented, like a reasonable and rational person. Instead, you choose to nitpick about a word and dismiss the argument based on that. That's not a counter-argument at all. And then you call his use of some word a "dirty tactic". Present a rational argument why his opinion is incorrect. "You used a word I don't like" is not an argument.

Warp, there's no counter-anything once your opponent turns on cheats. If you love when people repeatedly insult you, don't expect the same from me. Topic closed.

Even if there was some form of merit to his argument, the reason this came about was asking for a potential successor starman. Repeatedly insulting other users probably makes you a bad choice as a successor starman.

General immaturity from using such words also doesn't lend a lot of positive to your argument either.
