New jobs upcoming, new tanks?

[Ehayte]

Kitru is pretty often abrasive and argues in a obstinate and *extremely* mean-spirited way. She uses a lot of rhetoric that comes off as a personal attack. She uses a lot of rhetoric that makes her seem correct to people who don't think independantly, but most of what she is arguing is pretty much pure opinion, or based on some equation that is wildly assumptive.

It is my opinion that she is poisonous to this environment of a pleasant exchange of ideas. This isn't a job, the only thing at stake here is internet epeen. It sucks when someone tries to make a fun thread about cool ideas for something and then another comes in and takes a proverbial dump on everyone's good time with *'ed up, confrontational, mean-spirited, opine-as-fact rhetoric.

The only reason to use that sort of rhetoric is when one is unsure of the facts behind one's own opinion; it is used as a preemptive defense mechanism to prevent people from fighting back. Regardless of whether they are weak or strong of will, it muddles the conversation by triggering emotion on the negative side of the spectrum. Operating in that manner is "kinda sad," and it makes people here to have a fun read feel like this community is full of hardcore only a-holes that only see the bad or negative in everything.

Obviously Kitru and those like her will not change their ways, because my opinion is certainly not enough incentive for them to act like I think they should, especially if they have been incentivized to act how they are acting for however long they have been acting so. Which is unfortunate because I have seen quite a few interesting and intelligent things come from Kitru, but they were almost always surrounded by insults, focusing on the OP's creativity or cognitive ability.
