Why is insulting someone unreasonable?

Why do you "demand" that others should not demand on usenet?

Why would you want to know? 
Why would you think I need to try something like that?

Well, I suspect it is.

What nonsense, why should one be ashamed of his/herself for any reason?

Well, that is fine, Thomases opinions can and should be attacked on their 
own merits, but that does not mean one should attack someone's person 
because of that.

Indeed there are more falacies of discussion, so what?

Indeed, 
there probably are a lot of flying objects that are unidentified,
there probably are many objects that fly unnoticed,
so they reasonably cannot be identified.

Most nutrinos are UFOs, objectively.

But please duck if you identify one in a marital row.

> The earth is flat!

Your logic here escapes me. 

Perhaps you think that because many people think the earth is flat,
that reality is defined by such number?
