I'm a pretty opinionated person, and I tend to view discussion and debate as a sort of proving grounds for opinions and values. As such, I get pretty heated in trying to make sure I've backed the correct horse. That pretty much means I'm a dick to talk with about conflicting points, and for that I'm sorry.
I rarely, if ever, mean any actual hostility. I grew up playing sports and as you can see from the Roast thread, I'm kind of a fan of smug shit-talking. It's just that, though - It's not meant to debase anyone and only exists "on the field" for me. If we run into each other in-game after a nasty argument or something I generally try to ignore what happened elsewhere.
So, uh. Sorry for the folks I've offended and pissed off. I don't really mean it.
I want to echo some bits of what Warren said. I don't think anyone means to actually be hostile or to deliberately hurt someone.Â
But if it happens accidentally, or maybe even on purpose, remember that we too are humans just like you and we have raging emotions as well.Â
Once again, I'm sure none of us mean it. I'm sure none of us want to be deliberately hostile and mean. I promise I try not to. So, don't hold it against others. Best to talk it out and fix up any misunderstandings.
