    when the person starts sounding like a dumbass.... which if that's the case, chances are the person started off sounding like a dumbass. then that probably means that it was a whole mistake to even start arguing in the first place.
    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.

    When you get pissed off it is probably time to stop. I used to get pissed off far too often. Now I only rarely post in threads, and almost never in the inane threads that are like broken records around here (conspiracy theories, free will / determinism, US = Nazi Germany, etc...). Much easier just to read them, laugh at the posts instead of being angry - many are so bizarre they're funny, and go on to the next thread.

    When you stop blinking and spit starts flying out of your mouth onto peoples faces.

    That or you shit yourself...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Now, like right now !!

    The secret to a long hapy life is to never argue with anyone.

    yeah, i can totally follow you. i sometimes wonder what it would be like in real-life if we'd actually be discussing the same topics.

    something tells me people would probably back off more on their comments.

    i think you're right. it IS easy to hide behind a computer monitor and cling onto your argument with an iron fist.
    these political and moral sections of these forums are like quicksand though! you get sucked in, hear something so blindingly ignorant or frustrating to you that for of all the rage firing throughout your body, through your fingerprints and onto a screen is about as good as you'll be able to do, lol.

    Jeez, it's simpler than that for me, I just get really really bored at work, and there is this computer sitting there, and a bit like a role play game, if I talk to it, it talks back.
    Well, occasionally it will, I acutally find most of my posts on AET get ignored.

    Rage ??

    Definitely not !!
