I always shoot for discussion. But generally unless everybody is saying the same old shit that everyone general believes anyway..there is not much discussion. It is the same old "appeal to authority" I was talking about.

Like D, I don't want to just offend and piss people off, but some put a little more effort into this than others so when I write a big heap of why's and wherefor's only to get accused of writing too much and the "consensus" is based on a bunch of one-line dogmatic shit from 20 posters..that ain't discussion. That's just mob mentality.

Sorry, like D, I am not trying to piss people off, but some people have a bigger reason to be irritated sometimes than others and just trying to flub it off isn't going to make us feel like it's worth it.

But I know that you take in stuff big time, Cradler, don't get me wrong.

I remember trying to help a beginner with a lot of indepth stuff when he was trying to start the right way. I put a lot of work into it. Then someone comes along after all that and says, "just go in a lift some heavy shit". So a bunch of members come on and praise that post like it was a gift from God. Why? Because this member that posted it was concieved as an authority and got his ass kissed for basically nothing. THAT was the consensus and I was rightfully irritated. This kind of thing happens all the time.

So, I'm "discussing" what's been said about discussion.

This is relevant:

Care to discuss?

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
