As someone that grew up watching Chuck Norris movies and every other movie related to martial arts (the Bruce Lee collection comes to mind), this site had me laughing out loud for a very, very, long time.

And the attacks are often done in a lasting and vicious manner. Ever since I've started in the business, there hasn't been a day without senseless wars all around me regarding who has more expertise or who knows more. We are all following the search engines, so get real seos. The goal should be to establish a strong web presence overall and not to bend over for anyone to keep your websites up there for yet another day. - Mike Dammann Seos are a lot sneakier than most when it comes to attacks.

I'm not sure what you were trying to say, since you obviously misspelled that last word. 'You duck?' As in, I'm really good at letting things roll of my back? 'You cluck?' As in sometimes I say nutty things? 'I worship the ground you walk on'? Sorry, but I really don't deserve any special praise from you..."

Of course, one can be mistaken for the other, and sometimes a jab in good fun is worthwhile (though once more, can be mistaken). Of course, flaming can go a bit far. Frankly, halfway through Jim's post I couldn't help but think of the "Arguing on the Internet" picture (do a GIS on that phrase if you don't know what I'm talking about).

The most obvious is, they attack when attacked. I've let a lot of criticisms go, but I also respond to a some criticisms when I feel a response is necessary. Sometimes attacking somebody is the pompous thing to do. You know, generate controversy, make it look like your opinion counts. And sometimes it's the right thing to do. You know, moral integrity. Traffic Power comes to mind. All in all, I really don't see the virtue in getting along. Much more virtue in open debate than there is in pandering to the establishment, IMO.
