I don't believe you read my post carefully.

I posted:

I have noticed that on GC there is a tendency to belittle the author of an argument that people disagree with rather that just countering its presuppositions.

Its like killing the messenger because you don't like the message.

These types of responses show intellectual laziness, poor argument skills or simple malice.

And as far as causing trouble for trouble's sake . . . How are posts that defend posters that are being belittled considered troublemaking . . but the ones that mock are not?

As for the second statement, it just shows that you didn't read the thread and that, as always, you just like to stir up trouble by posting something that you know will get to people.
