You don't have to destroy the other guy to "win" the debate. People on the forum are not stupid and can see the merit or lack of merit in someone's comments if you show the flaws in their argument.

You, sir, are a fool. I demand the right to use personal attacks in my political commentary. I am too stupid to argue the strength of my case by its merits alone. I need personal insults to substitute for the facts and reasons that I am unable to supply.

Click on the black box in the upper-right hand corner of "Simulated Troll's" post.




This screen will load up next:



A personal insult like the above will earn "Simulated Troll" 6/10 allowable points on his account for 20 days. If he were to make other insults, then his account would be 12/10 full and he would then be temporarily or permanently banned (depending upon the poster).

Reporting posts is the best way to deal with posters who are insulting.

Thank you.
