... its why debate exists.
It strikes me that debate is to convince observers of a position. Too often, especially in the current cultural climate, debaters quickly switch from logic to insult. In fact, the argument looks much weaker when it is degraded to insult rather than by a convincing argument.
It's too bad (in this transactional world) that empathy must be received in order to be given. This, in fact, seems to be the antithesis of empathy. Likewise, it's unfortunate that respect for others is dependent on their actions rather than one's own. In my view, degrading another is never warranted

As youve quoted me Ill assume your comments are directed at me.
If you read my opening post to the OP, you will read in the first line I showed empathy.
I then tried to explain our experiences from the opposite view of his own, using our wide travels to emphasise that experience.
This was met with utter contempt from him.
If someone on a nudist website calls himself Take A Ruler To It, then I think its a legitimate question to ask what it means. Does not you?
