WRONG.
Often, banter, and making fun of people will bring about a perspective change or make them a little more aware of thier point of view. In fact, sometimes, it's the best way to ring someone's bell and make them realize that they are out of control, out of line, stupid, or the like.
I've used to to some success. And it's been used on me to some success.
Sure when it's done for PURE HATE then it's wrong. But when it's part of a normal dissagreement, it's fine. In fact it's natural.
In your world, you'd prefer that no one said anything wrong or slightly offended anyone. We'd all be nice, and friendly and good and sweet.
Well, live in your world: ride in mine.
Don't be a menace with your better than thou attitude either.
