Its not about burying your oppnent, its about sending a message.
No, it's really not. You're starting to seem like more and more of an anarchist as this conversation continues. Simply put, you're someone who doesn't posses enough lingual skill to resolve issues with others, and must resort to violence to assert or defend yourself. That's how you appear, and until you realize that and attempt to change your argument that is how you will continue to appear.
you should be able to see that he attacked me first on just an assumption without any research.
I've been following the debate; I wouldn't be commenting otherwise. And Maverick was simply pointing out the flaws in your argument in a logical fashion; that your entire argument is based on a tunnel vision opinion that you have to throw your fists at any problem you face. You're the one who called him a "cigarette butt", you're the one who said he had a "hippy mind", and you're the one reiterating his own words because you're apparently run out of the insults that fuel your argument.
He called me base, he is to be blamed here if a flame war starts.
His referral to you as "base" wasn't just an empty insult. It was an attempt to get you to realize you were acting beneath your human nature. That's the entire side of the debate you're failing to see. You've thrown diplomacy out the window.
After all its you who said
And you've done nothing but reinforce my words, to be honest. I see nothing less than truth in that statement. In fact, you should view it as a compliment that I don't simply think you're pulling everyone's leg; I understand your argument and know you're legitimately trying to prove your point, you're just being close-minded and unwilling to listen to other's views.
The original issue in and of itself, bullying, can not be solved by simply punching back when you're provoked. But that does not mean it is never a viable option. Bullying is a serious issue, one that requires attention from administrative figures, cooperation from parents, and understanding from both bullies and bullied. "When fighting back is the only option" may be a phrase used often in this debate, but the fact is that fighting back is often not the only option. That's where I form my opinion of your argument, Punisher. When all you do is warmonger and insist upon self-defense as the answer, it makes me think you perhaps want to fight more than you're willing to let on. And that makes you the bully.
Tell an authority figure. Maybe that doesn't always work, but this isn't a Nickelodeon commercial; a teacher can confront the bully, give you advice, or inform an administrator.
Imagine this is put into the context of Armor Games. What are moderators and administrators even promoted for? To preserve and help the community. Imagine if you were being harassed in some way on the site; what would other's impression of you be if you were to simply respond snidely and begin to fight back, trying to handle yourself? You would just appear as asinine and immature. But what if you were to inform someone who could handle the situation accordingly? You would seem proactive and intelligent. See, putting this issue into context is important, to understand why "fighting back" is simply not the best option.
