insults - quantity and quality

Eccie is deteriorating into endless insults. This sub forum in particular, but not limited to it. For reference, just view the activity on the recent 180+ post thread. So, the quantity of insults is not the problem, and it does not look to be decreasing. Most threads start out with 2 or 3 good posts, then the insults start, and continue on page after page.

The problem with the insults is - quality. Most of them are the common, "stupid ass bitch", "stupid s***hole", "clueless motherf*****", etc., etc. And many of these are posed by supposedly well educated members and 80 year old men. Most of those do no reviews, and do nothing but insult.

Houston - we can do better.

Here is a list of highly thought of insults. Maybe we can learn from these and start seeing higher quality insults.
