You're kidding, right? I can't think of anyone who'd be offended by that word. It just means someone who justifies or defends an idea through argument. That website sounds really sad.

In the grand scheme of things, a message board is just a message board and of no importance. Still, behaviour like what has been described in this thread and the "Basher's Sanctuary" thread really makes me sick. It also makes me extremely curious as to what the people who act like that must be thinking to rationalize their behavior. Obviously they must think that what they're doing is "right," but how can they possibly think that?

Exactly. A poorly-run message board only hurts the people who use it. Anyone of intelligence, no matter their viewpoint on subjects should not support such childish and paranoid behavior from one side or another. The poor little deranged fools.
Unfortunately, as I said earlier, I lose some hope for mankind.
