I'm starting to see that these kinda people don't care that they have this reputation. I see it everywhere, including here. I think it might be because they feel those actions or emotions are justified to what they're saying or doing so they don't care if it makes them look bad. A strong reaction even if it comes off insulting or mocking means strong conviction. Being an asshole shows strong conviction. Thoughts?

I think there is a valid argument to make against tone-policing, but sometimes that needle swings too far the other way.

Yes I agree that you being outwardly angry and visibly upset about a topic doesn't fundamentally invalidate your point of view.

But no, I don't agree that it's productive for people to just lose their fucking minds over every talking point, and if they truly wanted to move the topic forward they would at least engage in it rather than falling back on ad hominems and strawmen arguments - provided the other person is engaging in good faith.

One person I used to know seemed to think that whoever said the meanest thing won the argument. They would always have to add a "Shut up" or a "You're so dumb" or something to that effect, because in their mind, they won the argument by being mean.

I think that's how most children think arguments work, but it's sad that some people don't grow out of it.

I dunno, man. I think looking and sounding unreasonable is just an awful look.

And some people condone these kind of people. Often saying things like "Their heart is in the right place" or "They only act like that to the people who deserve it!".

So yeah there's enablers of these types as well and they need to know who they are.

Most of CE is like this these days. I made a topic about spraying your bathroom after you poop. A handful of users came at my throat.

It's nuts.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that it's so common now here. Maybe age is making some crotchety.

They're not the same people I'm talking about. Not knowing you were joking is different.

Joking or not, there are literal users on CE that will raise their blood pressure over poop.

I wouldn't say most. Last time there was a poll check for a certain angry user, the majority voted to condemn the person.

I disagree. Normal people aren't naturally angry, hostile and combative and most people knows these traits are considered bad traits.

Its human nature for people to be angry and violent. That is just how human instincts work.
