I, myself will explain something in a calm matter, as respectful as possible once. If the person continues to argue their obviously false opinions/views with me then I will degenerate into throwing insults eventually. So that is probably where most of my "bashing" comes from. It doesn't start out that way, but will get there eventually if people are being retarded.

Unfortunately there is no cure for stupidity, you can only point it out when it happens, otherwise people walk around thinking they are, well, not stupid. While there is nothing wrong with that in of itself, when they start presenting facts or opinions as correct when they are clearly incorrect, that is where I draw the line and have to say something.
I don't disagree with that (although no one in this thread, for example, deserved it), but if that's the case and they don't wanna learn, report it to the mods. Excerpt from the General Forum Rules:

- Please do not post false, fabricated and/or fictitious information. It is unconstructive and will only confuse others. Please be careful with what you post and keep in mind that your words can affect others more than you may expect.

If someone is blatantly posting false information, that is indeed a violation of the forum rules, and as such should be dealt with by moderators, not other posters. Or well, it can be dealt with by them as well, as long as they adhere to the rules themselves. People shouldn't have to feel the need to resort to vigilante justice, which is why I encourage a stronger moderator involvement in here.

On the matter though, many of the things that have been mentioned in here are, in fact, opinion and not wrong or right.
