People do not like to be told they are "wrong". As evidenced in many of the threads on this forum recently, it begins with simple disagreement and leads to personal attacks, insults, and namecalling that ends up being moderated as the
forum rules prohibit that kind of behavior.Rather than focusing on chest thumping and declaring each other as "wrong" to ratchet up the tension here, I suggest starting with what you agree on. When you get to things you disagree on, avoid sweeping generalities that are easily misinterpreted based on circumstance. You all have a wealth of knowledge, but the worst thing to do is hold the belief that you know everything.Come on folks -- you all are better than this. As Gnobrin has already stated, bickering is the easiest way for a post to be ignored. Find ways of working constructively on your differences instead of continuing to one-up each other in a war of words.
