    Although, to be frank, I would have no problem calling you obnoxious and that wouldn't be an incorrect abridgment of my opinion of you. Unlike Brenus, I'm not a very civilized and polite human being.
    What about your exhortation to attack arguments, not a person? Or is it valid only if this person is not obnoxious?

    By the way, being subtler is expressing his attitude doesn't make one more polite or civilized.

    It's valid always. It's just that I'm an ass and don't care in majority of cases.

    And you expect others to follow what you preach but you don't find it a binding tenet for yourself?

    I expect very little of people. As they tend to give very little, it usually works out well.

    Perhaps it is because they follow your pattern of actions and not your preaching.
