sinker 0 #6 August 5, 2003 well, for me, it's that time of the month. i really do try to keep a level head and stay detached, but in some threads, well, i'm just not very good at doing that we all have our flaws, that's a big one of mine. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #13 August 5, 2003 Quoteso why does everyone loose control when these topics are brought up. What an astounding exaggeration. It's NOT true that "everybody" loses control, nor that the conversations are always heated, nor that everyone gets wildly emotional. Personally, I think many people WISH conversations about these topics became more dramatic and find any excuse to declare them extreme. They're looking for vicarious excitement everywhere. One person expresses a contrary opinion and suddenly "Everybody is losing control! ARGHGHGHGH!" It's really just not that bad. People are, for the most part, extremely reasonable.

Zenister 0 #19 August 5, 2003 well from a personal standpoint as my father used to say.. "you'd argue with a post, dig it up and argue with the hole" one tries to keep it reasonablly civil, but i've been known to escalate the rethoric on occasion simply for the entertainment value... i've discovered life is much easier if i expend that energy here rather than use it in person____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
