I--DarkGod--I wrote: People like that fester and have trampled over my family forever. You nip people like that at the bud. If you think i'm harsh you don't know me. I regularly go out in public now that I have advoided the internet as much as possible. I have much more "social" skills than you think I have and you ever will have, and it's called: Stop it before it gets worse. If something is annoying you, you don't ignore it. It's like a dog coming into your house, crapping on your carpet, and you just push it in to a corner. it will fester, rot, and attract god knows what. I rest my case.

Well, you're technically not really   making   a case. I never said that you don't go out in public and I didn't say you lacked social skills entirely either. I'm just saying the behavior that you're proposing is unhealthy- both personally, and proffessionally. I'm just trying to make a point here, and all you seem to want to do is be condecending.   '''If you're going to argue, make some points '  'instead of getting all defencive. '''

This isn't at all like a dog bursting into your house and using it into the bathroom, and it's not like pushing that same dog into a corner and ignoring it. It's more like a dog licking your hand and you yelling at it/kicking it.

Here's why:
