Since you both reply nack to her at the same time on the same pos and even with sarchasm which in itelf is rude and unecessary. When you voice your opinion in a pushy manner or use sarchasm in a "discussion" it quickly turns to arguement. I've said it a million times "There are no friendly arguements or discussions" now of course not always true, but every friendly discussion I've ever encountered on here that contains difference of opinion which all are entitled too, it ends like this. One or more people angry when all should have been avoided rather than fueled.
I just have to answer to this one last them, then I'm all good and onto observer-mode.
Yes, we did answered at the same time, but that was just a coincidence and we had nothing to do with each other. When I started typing, no registered member was even reading the thread. He both started and finished his reply within the time it took me to write mine, so that's not relevant in any way. I'm not aware of me ever using sarcasm (in this thread) either.

Not sure who you are referring to. No-one should be angered by this. People have just expressed their opinion, and then I explained some thing further to you (since this particular discussion has pretty much been between you and me alone) and you replied, and I sure are not angry.
I also find this "discussions are bad (almost) always bad" so, so strange on a forum. If discussions are to be avoided, I should probably stop posting all together on FF (or if just you and I keep our distances )

(According to many dictionaries I've just checked (both online and paperback), argument = discussion, so I'm not even sure what you're trying to say when "discussions turns into arguments". Not trying to sound rude, I'm just not understanding entirely, since English isn't my native language)

Lastly, I just want to press that I'm not angered or offended by any of this and I hope I have not angered anyone, because that was never my intention. However, I really beleive people need to be able to handle other people not agreeing with them, especially when posting on a public forum on ze internet
