That's a somewhat interesting observation. When I have more time in a couple weeks, I'll go back and consider how I express myself here.
I am generally most interested in ideas and discussing those ideas. I find that people often take it personally when I critique their arguments, but I almost never intend those posts as character attacks. I think my character attacks are pretty obvious and generally offered quid pro quo. I've been pretty insulting to you lately because your posts so often include generic name calling.
I try to avoid references to past demonstrations of personality faults and I am somewhat annoyed when someone wants to interact at that level. When the whole forum degenerates to that, I usually take a break for weeks or months. I've found RnF much more interesting lately, which is why I've been posting fairly often. I find picking on Kagatob about anime really uninteresting. He and I often don't get along, and he's obviously biting at the melodrama, but it holds no interest for me at all. I'll trade a few barbs with people like Chest or Visceral, but it gets dull very quickly.
