Who's opinion? You quoted an entire message that I wrote, but someone else (Denn) was in the "To" field.

Let's quote you again real quick:

Obviously, you have a different opinion. That's great. While some like to insult you instantly for thinking in a way they don't, there are plenty here willing to debate you on this. But, if you're going to go batshit crazy on everyone here for only a few people's improper responses, you will probably be ignored in the future.
N> Well that about sums that debate up. On to the next topic.... LOL
And here, you tried ending what you started in the same message. Basically trying not to give anyone else a chance to argue (or debate) with you about it.

People like who? Who are you actually talking to here? I wasn't insulting you in my reply. Or do you not like me now because I have differing opinions than you do?

Are you even ranting to the right person here?

So, in the exact same fasion as your above paragraph, *my* original reply to you was telling you that you opened the can of worms, and that crying to Digital Man because people weren't agreeing with you was completely out of line and uncalled for.
Now if you were being more specific and calling out the people that were actually insulting you directly because of your original post, you should have been more specific (both to Digital Man, and the rest of us). However, *I* didn't insult you for what you said, I pointed out that you started all of this. So you either replied to the wrong person, or have some short term memory loss.

Coming out with the insults is a instant sign of a loss of an argument.
