why ??

why is it that PsKeptics - when faced with a differing opinion that they have no real answer to start with personal insults against the poster ?? - this seems to be a feature of many sites - and i have been insulted on one or two 
personally , resorting to personal insult shows me that the level of intelligence is lower than the insulter wishes to credit themselves with AND that they are incapable of debate in a civilised manner - true we ALL have strong opinions on the subject - but do we REALLY need to stoop to insulting one another because we have different opinions ?? - in my opinion -NO !!
SOMEONE ONCE SAID :" I may not agree with what you have to say - but I will defend till the death your right to say it "
may be this should be rehashed to read ??
i may not agree with what you have to say - and if i don't i will start with the personal attacks "
i have been accused of being ignorant - but at least ways i am NOT so ignorant as to personally insult anyone here !! - i guess some of us just have higher standards of personal behavior
if these types of insult continue - I for one will be gone from SCEPCOP -( if i WISH to be insulted - i will just log in to SKEPTICS UK - where one can get a better class of insult ) - because frankly i have better things to do with my time than trade insults with people - it achieves NOTHING !!
but i suppose suits the PsKeptics as they consider it a small victory if they can "see off " another reasonable poster ??

Wholeheartedly agree Brett. I don't mind insults to my opinion, but not towards me as a person. It IS a two-way street and insults really just show the true character. To all skeptics out there, please don't use personal insults. It does nothing to help your side of a debate.
If I personally have (or do in the future) insult or offend anyone, please let me know and I will apologize to you both personally and in a public forum. That's not why I am here.
Of course, I would hope to get the same in return.
