Quote from Dave Voorhis on June 25, 2019, 7:10 amQuote from johnwcowan on June 24, 2019, 10:44 pmWhy do some people consider it civil behavior on this forum to contradict other posters in this peremptory fashion, rather than simply giving their own opinions, with or without supporting arguments?
Some folks are just bad, bad to the bone.
That and we've been here for fourteen years, so plenty of time to go from behaving like polite professionals -- which I think we managed for about a week in 2005 -- and go to behaving like a gaggle of rowdy regulars at a local pub's "boardgame nite" in a university town, which this forum often resembles and which for some participants appears to act as a substitute.
Tradition holds that when something's flung at you, you fling it back. But your way works too.
