@izzythepush,
Why does Able2know have to feature so many personal attacks? I don't see the need for them.
The benefit of such an online forum is that we can express our views and hear other people's views. I come here for opinions that differ from my own. Of course I am "chumming with the seedier elements" (sometimes the seedier element is you). Talking with people who don't see things my way is the best part of public discourse. If I wanted my own opinion, I would find some echo chamber.
If I agree with you on a topic (and I have agreed with you many times) then I will support your position on this topic. If I think your opinion is full of crap, I will tell you so. No hard feelings... that's what we are here for.
If I think you are correct on a topic (and it does happen), I will agree with you. If I think you are full of crap on a topic, I will tell you why. In this way you are no different than Oralloy. When he says something I agree with I support it, and when he if full of crap on a topic I say so.
What is the point of bringing personal grudges from thread to thread? It makes real discussion with people who don't always agree with you very difficult.
I do sincerely enjoy interacting with you Izzy. You provide opinions that differ from my own. I appreciate that.
