[QUOTE="Received, post: 70778081, member: 1597"] That's definitely an option, but only to a degree. But there are sneaky insecure folks out there who start with very subtle irrelevant inflammatory rhetoric and then gradually amp things up as they presumably realize they're losing the debate (or they're just buttheads). My sense is that people who use inflammatory/superfluous rhetoric from the beginning are much more likely to amp up their game. Right, because "teaching" presupposes a level of superiority. What I'm talking about is [I]whether you like it or not[/I] your behavior reinforces or punishes other people's behavior on a conscious or unconscious level. Therefore, are we going to reinforce, extinguish, or punish a person's negative behavior? [/QUOTE]
