We don't care what the topic is or what your position is; you just have to observe the guidelines. All-caps words/phrases/sentences are specifically banned because they make the comments ragey and hostile, and make your argument seem weaker. A phrase “I don't give a flying fig if you all die from that hideous nasty crap” breaks multiple guidelines and is almost worthy of an instant ban, but I'm hoping you might be persuadable to try harder to use the site as intended. It isn't difficult, and if your points don’t hold up without that kind of aggression, they’re probably not strong points.

Also, please don't try to reframe what is plainly egregiously abusive commenting as reasoned argumentation. That’s obviously game-playing, not honest dialogue. This site is only a place where people like to participate because others make the effort to raise the standards rather than drag them down. Please only comment here if you intend to participate earnestly.
