    But if, in the long term, I don't care then it matters not either way and I am still, in a small part ignoring you yet not fully which would then mean you are correct but again not fully so.

    Ignoring is a binary state. So is correctness. You are still doing it wrong.

    Let's just all blissfully get along for the purpose of the content of this thread, eh?

    Debate brings out the golden truth. In this case, how to post better. Having infallible logic is definitely better than not, no?

    It most certainly is, and I agree with you for the most part. However, there's always a possibility that debate can turn into butthurt.

    Now, you see, this is how I know you don't know who I am. I'll let the others explain. It's more amusing that way.

    And further more, debates usually only escalate if you actually care.
    Ah good amount of the not caring usually ensures you can argue longer.

    Why do we need rules to post better?

    I agree with Dan for once.

    If everyone posts by these "guidelines", no one would be posting better.
    Everyone would be posting the same.

    That's what I'm saying, If you and Dan can't be you and Dan then you become user #696 and #969.

    Everyone is the same, yay.

    Everyone must conform.

    Guys gotta remember, this wasn't made with the intention of people going "Oh hey post bettar"
    It was made with the intention of helping those new to a forum to better acclimate themselves instead being forced to deal with this sort of debate that you guys are currently doing.

    On the flip side, debating builds character. Let's face it, that's probably the best form of betterment there is, for forums or otherwise. It also makes the world more interesting. If everyone agreed, t'would be bland indeed.

    That's true, but this thread isn't the place to be debating over semantics.
    Take it somewhere else and let them grow on their own.
    Let them spread their wings and fly.

    PROTIP: Threads + Red Bull = Poor plan.

    ANyway, it is impossible to conceive that one can have a forum without
    And debates or the like. Why?

    Let us define forum.

    Forum:
    A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.


    HMMMMM.

    Ah, but I do not argue semantics. I merely show that what I am doing here helps people as much as the OP.

    Also no fair, using Circle of Life. Appeal to emotion is overpowered fallacy.

    Basically.

    Protip: If you want to post better, post Lion King and Corgis.

    Look, the thread's topic went off!

    And guess what? It's engaging.
