I make jabs at everyone.
So save them for the people that deserve it. Especially when they're good burns. You'll usually garner more respect/admiration from your peers that way.

If you can't take a joke then you shouldn't be on the internet.

Well, I mean... I don't see what's different from the internet and real life. Other than the fact that one's physical presence (Ex. charisma, charm, attractiveness) is completely absent, making the conversations a bit more... objective(?). Not sure if that's the right word.

Anyways, my point being that there's no real reason to make the distinction between the internet and RL. Especially since the former has benefits that the latter doesn't.

Quote
Also "enemies"? Again, this is just the internet.

That's why I quoted "enemies". I meant it in the way that you are opposing his argument. In the same way that two debaters are "enemies" -- they don't hate each other, they're just on opposing sides.
Oh yeah there are lots of differences. But no, I'm not gonna restrict myself to follow some sort of silly "get le bad guise" mission. If I can't make friendly jabs at people I like, then fucckit.

Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"

But your point that "you shouldn't have enemies (fuck it, "adversaries") on the internet, because it's the internet" is kind of empty.

Yeah, you're right. I don't even know why I nitpicked you. Probably because your burn was good, and in reference to your friend, whereas Iron Man's was shit, in reference to his enem-* -adversary. Seemed like a waste to me.

Carry on, amigo.

Depends on what you mean.

"Enemies" know each other on a more personal level.

Enemies?

I understand. It's really the only word that can suffice until another, better word can be found.

the opposite of friend

again, if you're gonna act like you can't (or shouldn't) have enemies on the internet, then you shouldn't have friends over the internet, either

at least that would be consistent
silly, but consistent

What do you think: would "adversary" work better?

Or does it have the same connotations as "enemy"?

Enemy means someone you hate and you don't want around you.

Adversary and/or opponent is better when it comes to opposing viewpoints and in debates.

I don't have "friends" on the internet. I have associates. You know, people I'm friendly with but don't know on a deeply personal level.

Thus, with your statement, I don't have enemies...

I have "adversaries." Which is the better term.

Adversary and/or opponent is better when it comes to opposing viewpoints and in debates.

But if you're going to insult your adversary, wouldn't that make them your enemy?

Really, any insult without an argument is ad hominem, which simply shouldn't have a place in debates.

I think that adversary works well for the future, but not when talking about insulting people. Enemy doesn't cut it either, though.

I wasn't having an argument with TBlocks.

when it comes to veganism, for example, anyone who eats meat is my enemy
we are enemies

when we're dealing with something as serious and eminent as the welfare of sentient beings who are currently enduring a global holocaust, it kinda matters what your answer is to the question, "should this continue"

and if your answer is "yes", then on this philosophical issue, we're enemies
we're not gonna get along

I really don't see how that fits, either.

I wouldn't insult my "opposition".  And I don't think most people would, either....

Enemy is really the best word to use.

People you dislike, are having an argument with, and by extension, insult, are your enemies. Just because it has extreme connotations doesn't make the word any less apt.

So my point still stands. If you're going to use a good insult, use it on an enemy.

The extreme connotations that come along with it, like some sort of 'mob boss' mindset or whatever you guys thought I was implying, are simply unnecessary.

well, it's not any insult

calling someone fat may be insulting, but it only becomes ad hominem when i say, "you're fat; therefore you have no say"

i'm sure you knew that, but i'm just gonna clarify that

I really don't see how that fits, either.

I wouldn't insult my "opposition".
i sure would
