Interesting fatherly advice, Diophantus... however 'arguing' isn't what's fueling this conversation.
Five members are aware of the dynamics in play and of what's at stake. Three have yet to post.

You know me, and I pretty much get along with most people. I give people crap for fun. Basically I think most people are ok, with the exception of a few.
I could have called that one or many others without having read any of the posts.
Predictability in action, Bob makes a thread, certain people give him crap.
It's the machine of the GF Phil. I am doin ...[text shortened]... attempt to grease the wheels.
One of the driven gears seems to have a spur missing. 😛 JK 😉

Originally posted by Blackampwhy do you dislike GP so much, indeed, would you say such things to anyone else in any other social setting unless you were drunk? i doubt it, it just seems so much easier to scream abuse at another from the safety of ones car when driving by doesn't it, or to be brave when sitting in front of ones flat screen monitor. I realise its difficult to see yourself as others see you, the Scottish poet indeed termed it a gift, never the less, constantly berating, ridiculing and offering naught but demeaning and caustic diatribe is not reflective of a healthy outlook, and to be honest, is more a reflection of the originator of those comments than the one to whom they are directed. Even in the meanest painting there may be cause for praise, the contours, the colour, the composition, the subject matter, the originality etc etc, it just needs some effort to look and find it rather than stating, that because it is not to our taste it therefore cannot be good. Please think about this - kind regards Robbie 🙂

thank you, tim, for your responsive and constructive comments. please move your advice forward by helping me, in plain words, to understand the differences between spam, troll and flame. also when is snide snide and when is it not snide? last, specifically what are the prevailing rhp site public forum "customs and mores" that member/subscriber/posters should politely observe?
