remember, people hate those traits they see most in themselves.
As you are calling people names and insulting them, you are critisizing others for doing the same.

LOL! Being female myself, I guess I can say it like this.
No, it was a 'bang the head against the wall' moment. No, I am not calling people names. I try not to, but sometimes I have to white knuckle it to fend of temptation. No, it has nothing to do with Korean Martial arts - other that I was wondering if my exposure to them has made me come to the stance I am taking on the matter or if I was drawn to the Martial Arts because of the mind set...
Yes I am critizising folks for name calling, because in a civilized environment, even in a heated debate there is no room for such foolishness. ]
Which brings me to the question: At what point do you no longer take the high road? On an internet forum...or in real life...
At what point will it be worthy to earn the permanent boot on a website? And here we are getting back to the Martial Arts - or rather the tenets I have come to embrace:
Honor - the gift I give myself, not to use bad language and to carry myself with dignity...
Courtesy - to treat others as I want to be treated myself
Integrity - to adhere to a code of moral values and ethics, to stand by what is right
Perseverance - to never give up in the face of a challenge
Self Control - to not let emotions control my actions
Courage - to not tolerate injustice
Community - the responsibility to contribute to society regardless of my position in life.
And let me tell you, making these principles known in public will often be used as argument against you, when all else fails...
If that does not explain my frustration - feel free to drop me a PM and I will gladly link you to the b*tchfest!
