:\ I'm serious. Everything you say sounds about 100 times more convincing if you refrain from using insults.

When you insult others, what you are saying is "I need to put you down to make myself feel better. If I make you look stupid enough, people will start to believe me instead of you. And I think I can make you look stupid by calling you stupid."

Now, if your points are good enough, they should stand on their own without name-calling.

Besides, it's just rude.

You’re lucky no one with a life would ever take the time to look through all your posts to see if you are a hypocrite

Oh, believe me, I am

But I think I use less insults than most people. I also refrain from them in any serious discussion. But sometimes if I am not being terribly serious, or I am just angry and not interested in discussion, well then.... it takes over.
