Occhi hit the nail right on the head here. I'm one of the most confrontational people I know -- I love a good argument, sarcasm is king, and ruffling people the wrong way can be very fun at times. However, even I don't always like the way Nic posts. He's very harsh.
But I much prefer his posts to the alternative.
Could the problems be solved without the sarcasm? Sure. But without at least a few ruthless members here to flame people, the quality of this forum goes down.
The point is that even if you disagree with the harshness of Nic's posts, maybe you should think twice before being offended or jumping to the the defence of his target.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
