    Agreed. He made a thread specifically to dis another ship and insult it's shippers. When call someone a bigot and racist, you should probably expect them to defend themselves. But I guess some people need to resort to personal attacks.
    You have no idea what sarcasm is, do you? That entire thread was a response to the insults that Kataangers throw at Zutaraians.
    By insulting people back? Good idea there. Lets resort to insulting the other shippers because they're doing it to us! There are rabid fans of both sides. Their not bad enough to warrent a hate thread.

    If your ship was almost constantly insulted by the ship with the majority of the forum, would you like to rant a bit to get back at them?

    That thread I made took about 90% of the anger out of me.

    well i think first there will be a ship bashing over which ever side was right...and then which ever ship that lost will write about how their ship is so much better or something...then maybe the war could end.

    and then the fighting will continue with the spinoff series

    of course! i dont think the war will ever end.

    so who do you ship?

    i can see some of Zutara's arguements, but i am 100% Kataang.

    and it seems we can make conversation without fighting, right?

    yep! I think you ship your ship because you like it, it doesnt have to be canon. And some zutara fan fics ive read are amazing, but I just love Kataang.

    and I respect your decision, but it seems all shippers can't be like us

    unfourtunately not. But this is a "battlefield", so i guess this would be the right place for ships to go crazy on each other.

    i just wish they wouldnt.

    I mean they could use logic instead of insults
    i don't mean this in an offensive way, but i say this in all seriousness; very few people on these forums know what logic actually is, let alone how to use it in an actual argument. most people here use logic to mean common sense, predictability, or in many cases they just tack the word onto their opinions to make their argument sound more valid. the sad truth is nearly everyone here wouldn't know a syllogism if it bit 'em in the arse.
    it seems every time someone uses logic, they get bashed over it

    1000% agree.

    frankly, i've seen very few logical arguments here, and i've never seen anyone get bashed for it. what i do see a lot of is people getting bashed for stating a hypothesis as fact, or stating their speculations as if they were "the logical conclusion."

    Ranting out isn't going to make people like Zutara anyone. Pretty much the opposite. What a vicious cycle.

    Makes me feel alot better.

    And for the record, I saw Kataang as fine until Aang shaved his head again.

    So there.

    Logic doesn't get you very far in shipping. At some point your ship can no longer be based purely on fact, you have to support it with theories, evidence, and for some people supposed facts.

    Which is why no ship's going to win until it there the ending cements it as fact.

    Preaching to the choir.

    I don't believe race exists at all.

    But I find endless humour in terrorizing those who do.

    If race exists, then racism is valid. And since we all know racism isn't valid, race can't exist.

    In short, I don't think race exists.

    But without race how am I supposed to stereotype people?

    I guess I could still do it with accents, but now I'll actually need to hear a person speak before judging them. How sad.

    To get the topic off Blaster's blindingly unintellegent insults (I'm just messing with ya ), who here thinks we will never get closure?

    I mean, its nick... and its a cartoon...

    I doubt we'll get so much as an epilouge.

    Stereotyping someone is the one of the worst things you can do to a person!

    I'm pulled over by cops constantly because of my race, age, and background.

    Stereotyping is not cool or funny!

    Tsk, tsk, tsk... You guys still don't get it...

    Avatar isn't about who ends up with whom --

    It's all about the awesome action sequences featuring Aang and the rest of the gaang kicking supreme uber butt.

    Shipping is a hobbie, not something to get worked up about. Why should you become angry about something so insignificant? And if you do get angry, blog it. That's what a blog is for, you don't make threads to release anger.

    I love arguing here. It's fun to see opinions and such. And when I post "gloating" posts, I'm absolutely kidding. That's a no-brainer. And what gets you bashed is by making no sense and generally being an idiot.

    I'm not understanding the logic of calling a ship racist in the Avatar world. Racism doesn't exist there. Plain and simple. Skin color has absolutely no effect on relationships.

    Now everyone cool it, I like to debate here. If you angry people get this thread locked, I will become like Azula.
