And if this is ordinary way in which I communicate? Am I typing in all caps? Am I misspelling things, or threatening people, or invoking fallacies? I feel strongly about this kind of thing. If I appear to be less than calm to you, you might do well to consider how very little you have to go on in this evaluation of my demeanor.

In particular:

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.

I'm going to have to recommend everyone ITT take a deep breath and let it go.


I think you're being asked to tone down the color commentary. It's not an unreasonable request.
