what causes forum discussions to degenerate?

a personal dislike?
the non-answer to a question?
the strawman argument of redirection?
the non-sequitur?
the fart joke response to seriousness?

i am guilty of these and others
so why do i feel the need to speak of my own foibles?

and now i must flesh out this observation until i am satisfied
i WILL have more to say by the end of this day

You should start your sentence with an upper case letter. That would be a capital letter incase you don't know what upper case means! 😉

Incase is a misspelling of the verb encase. As a result, you should always use encase as a verb. The phrase in case, when used to mean if something happens, should remain two words.
