Don't worry cc.  I know what you meant with your veiled criticism.


Wooooooo... :laugh:

Well, you have an audience now, don't you? I think right now there are 3 posters in this conversation with you, aren't there?

Im glad to have it too!  That said, I am well aware of what people think of me but what I really like is hearing opinions.  I actually learn a lot so thank you for engaging with me. :)

Good.



Frankly, it would be boring if we all agreed all the time. It is stimulating to have discussions between folks with varying perspectives. I prefer debating though without name calling. That's my shtick. Otherwise, we might as well just be cunning linguists and masterdebaters. Hahaha!



When I find myself in a debate where people are name calling, it feels like I'm in the streets engaging with vagabonds. That was my first impression when I found myself in DV when I first discovered it that fateful day in 2008.

I try to match the other person's style or tactics.  It has varying degrees of success.  I'm working on my need to "show" people their own behaviours.  I don't know if it's because I wanted to be a teacher in my previous life or if I'm just a petty asshole :D



I miss DV.  I think I miss the old versions of us that weren't beaten up as much by life. :)

I would prefer to  attack a position and not the person too. But, when neither side will give an inch, it's almost inevitable.
