Again, I have to disagree. You pretty well know when someone calls your post or position in a discussion "ridiculous" or "so ignorant I can't even process it" or or telling them they are a bad dog owner/breeder, don't love their dog, etc., clearly shows the intent of that poster to express themselves to the other member in a less than civil manner when there are other ways to respond with your own points of view just as vehemently but without any intent to disparage the other member. If someone tells me something I've just posted is "ridiculous", I pretty well know that other person has purposefully left the discussion and turned the thread toward a flat-out argument with me personally or they would have bothered to have replied in a more reasonable way.
