Narcissism is a great descriptor.
Megalomaniacal?
Anyway, i was thinking of starting a thread about the tendency for people (really bad people---like me
) to get tendentious and downright nasty in debates on this forum (as in almost every other part of life ... but ... )
I am on forums where no one would ever use the derision, the disrespect, that I and others sometimes use here .... and how can we all change?
Of course, we all know exactly how such a thread would turn out ..... but it would be popular until it was closed.
