[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4350053, member: 8119"] Let me start by saying that I think you're probably a decent guy in-person, like most of us on OSA. So, I'll try to soften my tone. I understand that you've had a lot of 'ugliness' directed towards you, and the knee-jerk reaction is to response in-like manner. But as difficult as it is, responding in ugliness not productive. There have been many times I've had mean comments directed at me, and I just had to leave it alone. Everyone should try harder at refraining from ugly-responses, and be respectful (including you and I). [B]Refraining from ugly counter-posts is not a sign of weakness, or lack of response. It's a sign of respect and being the bigger person - and it always starts with one's self.[/B] People throw darts at you because of you constant railing against alternative medical methods. Which some have been shown to be beneficial if taken early. Your points would have much more effectiveness if you 'tone-down' your demeanor waaaay lower. Try to avoid 'absolute' statements, aim for a 'matter-of-fact' tone, and most importantly - whatever the other person's position - don't escalate the insults! [B]From the quoted example above:[/B] You were trying to defend your position by referencing a prior post. [B]THEN YOU CALLED HIS DAD A TRANS?!?!!![/B] Then, you asked me about who's being ugly? Just wow. How oblivious a response can this be? Seriously, contemplate your approach to responding to other people. Your current approach of demeaning people is counterproductive, ineffective, and growing discontent towards you. This is formets 'ugly' posts towards you. [B]You want respective from others? It has to start from you.[/B] "You'll get further in life being nice, then right." - A wise man I personally knew. [/QUOTE]
