It takes more effort to be thoughtful, personal and honest. Snide remarks are just laziness. I love it when people are engaged in healthy debate and do not feel the need to rely on insults to make their point. That's the part that keeps me coming back to DU. The bullying and stupid bickering is, for the most part, just background noise. Though, probably best not to paint yourself into too much of a corner. Sometimes the right response to some comments is, "what an idiot". If a person isn't too wrapped up in their ego, that may very well break them out of their stupor and wake them up.
