Meta - Standard Voting PSA: Stop Insulting The Competition.

Too many times in this sub have I seen posts that put the other side down.

For example: "I hate (thing) and if you disagree you're fucking retarded."

While obviously exaggerated, my point still stands. It's perfectly okay if you hate (thing). It's NOT okay to tell people to go fuck themselves if they disagree.

Believe it or not, if you insult someone, they'll probably not want to listen to you.

TL;DR, Don't be an asshole.

I mostly agree, I'm just utterly confused why, especially in the context of your post, you refer to those who disagree with you as the competition.

There is no competition here, that's the whole point. Calling it competition makes it seem that the point is to win.
