I still can appreciate someone who makes me think about an issue in a different way, even if it might make me a little angry.
I agree with that Jenny. Although in order for me to keep listening to that person, they have to demonstrate they can listen, really listen, to responses to their position.
If they can't hear and address things coherently and open-mindedly, then the other perspective is just a rant, as far as I'm concerned.
Not that there's anything wrong with a good rant!
But as a 24/7 state of mind it's not enlightening.
Thanks, Rob. It's a wonderful site and I too appreciate what you do greatly. btw, I had no idea there were post limits. I figured one or two replies to any topic of interest per day would be OK, on my part, well no, actually I never thought about rationing my replies.
Is this a rule to follow? If so I'll pick my topics carefully and I guess avoid light-hearted one liners. Or is this rule for people who are trying to dominate and troll? Just wish to be clear on any guidelines.
