Gaining knowledge for example. What is the point of interacting with others if you continuously offended?

Do you think you could gain knowledge without using slurs and ad hominems? The only reason to do that is to provoke and hurt feelings.

I seriously don't care if somebody is smart and I have something to learn I will regardless of her style, slurs or whatever. I learned that in primary school where I was exposed to underpaid teachers who hated everybody who was smart. :)
