Thats correct i DO disagree with most points when posting.. otherwise whats the point in positing?
I agree with most of the people here most of the time.. and if i come across something I disagree with, I will get evolved with that post. I do not have a shit ton of experience, technical knowledge, or expensive software/equipment. I do not go out looking for trouble, but I have an opinion, i have ideas, I have a unique way of thinking that is completely outside the 'norm' and my perspectives are sometimes thought of as adversarial by some (as i stated before).
My mind is WIDE open, and if I disagree with you, and you disagree with me.. then we can fight it out and in the end, both learn something about each others perspective..
The last phone conversation i had with Buffo started out as a shouting match and ended with an agreement.. But its hard to get to that place in a forum where your intentions and ideas are often put off by the masses.
You do however bring up my exact point Stuka when you use specific wording in your post.
"I believe there is another forum out there where the members are more "open" to your way of thinking"
That may be true, but is it not also true that being open to other peoples way of thinking is EXACTLY what i was talking about from the start..
Heroic-
Ok i dont disagree with all of it.. Just the part about moderation being a science..
first of all science has set rules that are layed out and known.. its not governed by something as ambiguous as 'common sense and 'mutual respect'.
A forum should be moderated by people. This is not a forum however.. Its a diverse community of thinking people with personalties and opinions all there own. And when you put them all in a room, they all get along just swingingly, except for Buffo,nobody likes Buffo..
So while I agree that it is not the INTENTION of moderation to stifle progress, it CAN be a side effect. Technology develops around the edges, not the middle.
Charles Brown once said "A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow"
