Are there more arguments on the forum?

21 Dec 2004

My answer is NO
I've seen so many people posting about the number of bun fights going on in here, and how much it is affecting the site.
When I post a reply to a posting that is at odds with my view of the world, I spend more time thinking about it than a post that is in fun or flirting. Because there are more people on here, more variation, there are a greater number of differing views.
I can't get round every string nowadays - so sometimes I see a thread that I feel strongly about, and check to see if someone else has already made my point. If so, I leave it, bugger off and do something else. I still feel the need to comment on everything, but I can't do that and have time for fun.
So I use the Kat rule of housework: If I ignore it for long enough, someone will do it for me!. lol

As any forums' population grows, the chances of differing opinions increases and so does the chance of arguments.

OK - new subject - how many ways to say "I disagree with you"
"I hear what you are saying, but........"

"I'm not entirely convinced...."

Without differing perspectives on things life would be very dull indeed. There is nothing wrong with arguments so long as each person continually reminds themselves that there own perspective may not be the right perspective, and that the other person has the right to hold their perspective.
Respecting each other just for who we are seems to be the rule of positive arguments. When bitching comes into play usually the initial issues of the argument are lost and things which are said plummet to digs and insults. No one gets anywhere with this and causes rifts and arguments of a different nature.
So let free speech continue, in an open and honest atmosphere with respect of one another being of paramount importance. lol

Lots of love, hugs and kisses

Its like when someone says I have a proactive management style
which means im a total meglamaniac :shock:

There's been several occaisions recently where I've found myself assailed by people who have somehow read what I've written and understood something completely different. I find this very difficult, because (a) the people are often well-known posters who I've previously respected, and (b) however hard I try to explain something they just don't seem to understand. What do you do? People can get quite vociferous in their defence of their initial misconceptions. Or is it me who misconceives? It's human nature that you want people to understand you; if we didn't want to communicate we wouldn't be posting, would we?

New rule - what you say, and what you really mean....
"The point I am TRYING to make is....."
