I was trying to see where this would eventually lead to and I did. In the meantime, I'll state the most clichè line in the book. "You can't have an omelette without breaking a few eggs." Maybe you could decide to tone it out a bit, but it doesn't change the fact that if everyone had an overtly calm mien and didn't utter a word but simply nod in agreement at everything, what a boring world it would be.

It wouldn't just be a boring world, it would be the compliant, self-censoring, obedient world our self-appointed "masters" have been working towards. We NEED people like @edicted who aren't afraid to rock the boat a little bit.
I'm sure I've had a couple of blunt comments from him, and after I've got over my initial "WTF... bastard !" response, then I've sat back and thought "Yeh, maybe I was being an idiot. Let's think that point through a bit more thoroughly and try again..." 😀
Wow...I thought he was giving the truth a bit of a stretch with how mercilessly blunt he said he was but I've seen it's actually true, if not undermined.
I hope it never gets directed at me though. I'd have a mental breakdown, lol.
Think of it as character building, or a bit of tough love 😁
From what I've seen, @edicted will ruthlessly demolish poorly constructed arguments. But I don't recall ever seeing him attack the person making the argument (certainly nothing stronger than a small amount of light-hearted mockery that wouldn't even cross the threshold of changing room banter).
