This not a criticism hor this is a question leh
The short answer is 'yes.' You need to be thick-skinned if you're going to trade banter in the cut and thrust of forum debate. I am in the same mould as Oyk, yourself and the usual suspects - those thick-skinned posters you see with a lot of staying power despite getting a lot of heat. We exchange barbs regularly behind a veil of anonymity, secure in the knowledge that criticism and insults wouldn't hurt but real sticks and stones would.
Something I find very off-putting is those disgustingly filthy jokes being spewed around like nobody's business. They usually fell flat and they speak of a sick mind. I know roughly who are behind those obscenities and vulgarized versions of many of our original comments. Obscenities stink and defile the forum but, like insults and name-calling, they wouldn't hurt.
