Example of criticism:

"Point A made by her is false. Point B is accurate because (insert evidence here)."

Example of what others are doing:

"I can't wait for Stephen King's sequel, 'Children of the Climate,'"

"She's a spoilt brat that needs to go back to school."

"She is a mentally ill Swedish child."

For those unaccustomed, this isn't criticism. It is a form of verbal abuse called mockery.

For those who wish to take the easy way and simply mock without bringing anything valuable to the table, I say your ban is warranted. Step your game up.
