It seems to me that many people on the internet do not change their viewpoints, anyway, which seems to echo what pilotbob is driving at. And, when opinions don't shift, anger seems to rear its head. That's when patience runs out and name-calling enters.
Interestingly, absent from this thread are a few names that I readily associate as being in the name-calling category.
Also, (and again, interestingly, I might add), I wonder what those absent participants think of a thread such as this? Interesting speculation, but I don't know if we can really learn anything from it. I just don't know.
I'm wondering: Do narcissistic people know they're a pain-in-the-ass and that they are disagreeable personalities?
