Pretty sure it's the most horrific passive aggressive psychological nuke ever invented.

I am curious about Riona's methods. There's lots of shady area, like say if poster A tells poster B "that's an idiotic idea!" is that an insult? I don't think it is, because the idea is being put down, not the poster. I don't have a problem with wording like that, as long as it's followed with an argument as to said idiocy of said idea.

And if there's not the direct insult, there's the bearing of false witness, which may even be worse, accusing others of things they're not guilty of being or saying.

Poor Kwicko! That must be a disappointment. ;)

All in all, it's a lower count than I thought it would be. But I only check in occasionally, and tend to read a whole lot of posts quickly. So I probably see things as much more dense than they are.

Clearly some folks find fault with this, but I think it's an interesting exercise. And anyone who doesn't like your methods could certainly carry it out again with their own rules, right?

Thank you Riona. Food for thought is always good.

Well as I said before, Rione, I think your methods lack subtelty. Name calling (and I am surprised I got one as I usually steer away from that) is only one form of abuse on the net. I think you may have missed the more pernicious and devious of abuse that takes place here, and therefore I find your experiment lacks any real value, except for perhaps your own amusement.

Kwicko, I appreciate the effort, but it's not going to work. Everyone either thinks I'm irrational and my interpretations have no basis, or they think I'm just attacking everyone crazily and trolling.

I'm going back to the "I give up" plan.

Riona, if you were keeping count on yourself, how would you score this? Would a whole paragraph on how awful someone is and how whole made-up little story on their awfulness count for more than a single word? Are we to take your position as being the judge and exemplar of what is good and right, and the arbiter of what is wrong?

Just curious what you would think of this post if someone else - someone you didn't like and for whom you wouldn't make mental excuses - had posted it.

Oh come on you guys, it was just for fun. I'm not saying that people can't call names, as stated above. Just that it seemed like a fun idea and I can't measure meanness in any other way that seems quantifiable and tabulatable.

I didn't realize that my story about neighborhood kids would actually hurt your feelings Kiki. If it does I'm sorry I said it like that. I didn't realize that it would bother you so.

The thing about mental excuses though, I don't understand what you mean Kiki, could you tell me what you meant?
