I try not to let it get to that point. I've identified a few who seem to show up here solely to argue, be condescending, and float around on their overinflated egos. I just steer clear and let the gasbags float elsewhere.
Believe it or not, a good friend of mine used to introduce me around like that. He is dead now. I'm not saying anything about that part. I swear I did not do it.
I find some positions espoused on here to be philosophically abhorrent to me. They don't really get under my skin so much as that I simply cannot allow their reasoning to stand unchallenged. And it's not so much the people as it is what they are talking about.
But to the extent that eventually certain people become identified with their opinions, my intellectual boundary alarms go off whenever (at most) 2-3 individuals post.
