Perils in the Threads!

Blu,

I think your post is right on the mark. It says it all. Debate can be productive, and educational. The key is mutual respect for each other. I think we all come away with a better understanding of different opinions, and we are all better for it. While we may have different opinions, we all united in our right to wear a kilt, for whatever reason.

I agree. One of the things I like about XMarks is that we do all have different opinions yet manage to stay completely civil in our discussions. We seem to have a very well-mannered membership here and also good mods (and no that isn't blatant brown-nosing).

As long as we all keep our cool and continue being gentleman I think we can safely discuss all manner of topics without much worry.

We definitely have a well mannered group of gentlemen on this forum.

Great post James. I will only echo others thoughts that this is a great board with a diverse range of people, kilts, preferences, etc., but we all have a common respect for each other. The debates can get heated at times, but so can discussion with family and friends in our every day lives. As long as we can "agree to disagree" at times, everything works out fine.

Totally agree about this post and JAMES Do you call Talk Radio? because if you don't, Do you would be Great. I don't know what your voice sounds like but your editorials are the best devil's advocate I have seen in a long time. So with rag cleaning of the screen.
