after weighing the evidence, I agree that initially you sought to rise above the insults, but the swift undercurrents of gutter sniping seemed to drag you beneath the wave after a few posts.

You ended up responding his post tit for tat by using words such as hypocrite, gibberish, absolute composition of nonsense x10 (my personal favorite  Grin Grin) amongst others.

By resorting to this approach of castigating him in the exact same manner in which the attack came, in some cases with 10 times  Shocked Shocked the intensity, you have proven not only to be on his level, but on a superiorly (or inferiorly, depending on whether you are an animal or a rational being  Grin) pixilated and animalistic plane.

You surrendered your initial rationality on the altar of retribution and so you are consigned to the same ignominious status as the originator.

I expected you to come up with this, and so had my answer ready.  You will agree with me that the word 'fool' alone carries more weight than any of the words I used against him, which by the way, were statements of fact deduced from diligent observation (save for the one I, in all fairness, directed back at him for certainty of his rationale at that moment Grin); unlike his, that was just an unprovoked plain insult.  Already, this invalidates your theory of we both acting "exactly" in the "same" manner.  And based on this, our individual rationality in this circumstance, definitely should not be weighed with the same "instrument".  Besides, I wonder why you've chosen to overlook the fact that I later went on to ignore his rants, thereby proving myself to be "rationally superior" (in your words now). Huh -  Not that I demand any accolades for that anyway. . . just want you to be more objective in your argument.

On the one hand,  most times is kindda difficult not to react when you are being insulted, it hurts so much that you feel you have to give it back, as a scorpio i find it hard not to hit back at anyone who steps on my toes, and i sting real hard.
On the other hand i feel it takes a God fearing person, and a lot of self control not to react when you are being insulted otherwise, there may take you for a weakln, but all the same is not good to start insulting people you have not met nor seen
. Huh

I don't think i know of any nation that doesn't have abusive people. check out the koreans who think they are the most abusive people or the mexicans that believe that every body uses at least an insult a day

This topic is truly, an interesting one simply because, it affects everyone regardless of his skin colour or race.

I believe that, being insulting or abusive has to do with who we truly are in the inside of us. This may be hard to believe but it is true all the same, "Application of acquired knowledge about people relationship and other wonderful piece that we have heard or read is what differentiates us in life" Our responses to people is actually a direct reflection of our true personalities.

It affects everybody but, we can choose to put our emotions under due control. I believe that, only Agape Love can solve this world wide problem of being insulting and abusive.

Nigerians are just not easy to get with.  Rude, wild-mannered, insultive non patriotic.  You'll hardly find a nigerian proud of his country.  They'll always be proud in another man's land.  Dishonesty is another common factor.  The worst thing is all they are proud in all these things.

Speak for yourself mate,  because otherwise you would have seen that my post was supposed to be funny/ironic. Do you know what irony is, sunshine?

Anyway, keep believing that stuff they put into your head, ok? Soon you'll be back to the cornfields with a padlock hanging from you lips humming kumbaya,

This is a situation where fact(s) differ from reality. 

Nigerians make up nairaland, go through nairaland and conclude on your observation.  There is hardly a thread without insults.  Lets not deceive ourselves.

No correlation here bro.  That people insult each other, has absolutely nothing to do with their race.

That doesn't prove anything.  There are almost 145,000 members on this forum, out of which we have about 140,000 Nigerians (rough estimate), out of which we can assume that only about 72,500 Nigerians (approximately 0.05% of the entire populace) are insultive, and someone concludes that Nigerians are insultive?  I agree with Gamine, geographical boundries have nothing to do with our internal make up.

Look up specimen.  And not just nairaland but nigerians here in the States.  Rude! Rude and not well mannered.  Where did they come from?  Your conclusion is yours and mine is mine.  It'll be that way.

Yeah. . . and they're rude because they're Nigerians?  And going by your argument, I guess it's safe to conclude that you are also rude since you're also in the States?

Point is, insolence has got nothing to do with which country you come from.  You can't tell me that you haven't come across rude Americans, as well as well-mannered Nigerians over there.

I was partly brought up in Nigeria so you cannot identify me as a Nigerian till I tell you that I am one.  I am so not rude.  The same traits that I mentioned is the common factor with all the nigerians that I have met (and still will meet).  The girls are sarcastic - can barely make 10 sentences without a comment of sarcasm.  It's impossible to relate to them on a normal plane.  I won't go any further because it's just built up.  I have 20 years worth of disgust as far as girls are concerned.

I have no beef with Nigeria or nigerians.  That is my root and I am proud not to be labelled as a black with no roots.  I have only 6 nigerian friends that treat me like a brother.
