Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Howdy Pards, If you state an opinion, not everyone will agree. Both sides, "bring it on!" Best argument wins (or should in a perfect world or debate). Please, when someone disagrees, don't respond with something like "I don't have the right to state my opinion." Yes, you do and so do your opponents. Disagreement is not a denial of your posting "rights." Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's NOT what you say.......It's all about HOW you say it Respectfully, LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Pain Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 What Lumpy said. There's too much contention in spoken and written language today. Certainly points can be argued "in the debate sense of the word," without using common sense and civility. Otherwise, we all begin to sound like those "folks" on Capitol Hill that all they do us spout hateful rhetoric that just debases themselves. I'm just sayin.

Flying W Ramrod Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 A lot of times it not what you say or how you say it, it's who's saying it. Some folks just have a hard time listening to stuff some folks say. If I don't respect the person saying it, I just zoom past that post or don't read the thread at all.

Holden A. Grudge Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 As I told my 13 yo son the other day. You can disagree with me and your mom all you want. But you need to disagree respectfully. And...to me it seems that it is too easy to become emotionaly attached to opinions on the internet that aren't really that important in the overall scheme of life.

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Opinions are worth what you pay for them! But what irks me the most is that some will attack an opinion as though it is their mortal enemy. And that some opinions are attacked in offensive ways such as asking what color the sky is over your home planet. A little bit fact checking is worth a lot. The thing that makes WDC of poor caliber these days is that opinions are taken as though they are at the very core of ones beliefs. The inability of some to permit others to have differing opinions is what has made WDC what is today. My 2 cents worth. If you don't like it turn the page or scroll on.

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I like to frequent the Wire just to see what opinions others have. Does not mean I agree with them or they with me 100% of the time. But as the gracious AM (and others) have stated in to many posts to number, it is quite alright to disagree - it is more important to do so civilly! Personally I do not much care for those who come across as "you are entitled to your opinion, and if I wanted it I would give it to you" But that is just my opinion rant mode off Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I learned from arguing with idiots a long time ago and I rarely offer something to a discussion unless I know what I'm talking about. If someone disagrees and I KNOW I know what I know then I let it go. Let them continue sounding stupid if they want. My opinion is another thing. It is based on experience and well thought out rationalization. I will offer an opinion and then listen to what you have to say. I might change my mind. Opinions can change, facts cannot.

Snakebite Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Filmore is right... opinions do change. A good/civil discussion can often get someone to see things from a different perspective. But, as Flying W Ramrod said.. it can sometimes depend upon who is saying what. It's very difficult to listen objectively to someone who is always on the wire just doing the best they can to stirup trouble. Most folks will listen to someone's point of view if they really have something to say... but when they open up the conversations by slamming someone or taking a cheap shot, it really puts the skids on things. I don't think that is unique to the SASS wire.... it is pretty much a universal problem. As hard as it sometimes is, if we can manage to wade through it all, we can often find a "Pear of Wisdom" hiddin in the pile of BS.
