Forum discussions/posts in Kitchen Sink are hardly comparable to those things.
Your continual barrage of distinctly impolite rhetoric, over how many years? How is that working for you?
Edited to add: In fact, just ignoring, not responding to a disagreeable post can be more effective in communicating non-agreement than all the hateful foul replies. JMHO.

Politeness may be noble, blah blah, but when it's not an appropriate response, it's counterproductive: it just encourages more impoliteness.
I realize that some people think that smiling and saying "Thank you!" when another person insults them is a deft tactic, blunting the attack with a disarming response. I don't agree. I think a punch in the face is much more effective as a future deterrent.
How is that working for me? I don't take shit from anyone. I used to take shit from everyone, turned the other ass cheek, got kicked in the ass a second, third, and twentieth time as a result. No mas. The world is full of assholes, and the only way to fight them is to respond in kind.
BTW, that attitude, writ large, is what Europe finally learned after being polite and deferential to Hitler.
Peace love dope!
