Sure. It lacks an element of fun, but what's the importance of fun, anyway?

A very important leason to learn for real life, trust me
You cant disagree with your boss, and say "omg, you suck you flaming retard!" and expect a positive response, more appropriately, you would explain to your boss why you disagree in an appropriate manner, such as: "I disagree with what you said because....." Put in a respectful, and positive way, he would be more willing to accept what you say, even if he disagrees with you.

We are not arguing with our bosses. We are debating with each other. Your analogy is flawed.

These boards are no different, word your posts in a positive, respectful manner, and you will get alot better response then if you were to flame.

Some people have thick skulls, which chisels must be taken to in order to get through them and make one's point. Trust me - I've seen them. I've spoken to them. And, I've gotten through to them my way.

There is absolutely no excuse to flame another person, ever.....You can disagree with a person in a positive way, you can give a person advice in a positive way (which would help them, instead of lowering their self-asteem). There is absolutely no excuse for calling people names, such as idiot, retard, dummy, etc....

An idiot should get used to being called one. Such a fact should not be hidden from them, else they shall go through life blaming everyone else for their own mistakes.

I personally wont tolerate it, I have no tolerance for disrespect, flaming, name calling, and things such as this....if you cannot speak to someone without doing this things, then simply dont post.

You won't tolerate something which (as Kai so aptly pointed out) is not against the rules? Excellent moderation. I will echo his suggestion to actually read the rules you think you are upholding, as I doubt you've given it more than a quick glance. If you need help with some of the more complicated words, feel free to ask, and one of the rest of us will be glad to help you out.

Everything that you people do, are lessons learned in real life, even on graal, and these boards, remember that.

Indeed. The current lesson would be: "You must attempt to reason with the inept, whether you'd like to or not."

I quite obviously disagree.
