1.I did look at the way I posted and I believe I responded in the last post to you.I broke down some of the sarcastic remarks that you "claimed" were rude.Don't agree with it..oh well.
2.Also, while it may be convenient for you to believe that everyone should have a similar debate style, I don't. I can only do things MY way and for those that don't agree don't have to participate or acknowledge me at all. I dont have a set format when I have a discussion with people in public nor on the internet..
3. I'm not particularly rude to a "white" poster. First of all, how do I know they are white behind a computer screen?You also seem to denote the fact that I harass "whites"(whomever they may be) in every thread I have posted in. Considering I don't just post in 2 threads that reasoning alone is faulty.But thanks anyway.
Breaking down a remark doesn't make it any less condescending or rude then when you were originally posting it. I am sure that sarcasm is just your way of expressing yourself, and that's fine but what I am letting YOU know is that it is EXTREMELY offputting. People don't like beings poken down to, and it leads to personal fights, not good conversations.

If you want people to actually discuss the topic of conversations instead of your nasty attitude then you might just want to try and LISTEN to what people are telling you instead of just brushing it off. It's not about a style of debate here, it's about simple RESPECT for others. Sarcasm is all well and good, but if you think it's respectful, or that people should just let it go in conversations, then you must not be too good with the people skills.

Do things your way if you please but don't be surprised or act all defensive about the responses you get. You only get the kind of reactions you ask for with your snotty posts.
