I also like this thread.
There are many guys on here who have opinions the opposite of my own. There have been times where I considered their perspective and it gave me food for thought. I hope I have reciprocated as well.
I've had some pretty intense discussion and I have always tried to be respectful but do, admittedly, react sometimes and find myself editing my thoughts and toning down my responses. As I get older, the more collected I become ..... and ..... 50 is not too far away so hopefully it's not a slippery slope for me down the other side of that hill .... lol.
You talk to "people" all day long face to face - and the internet eliminates that "face to face" thing but I think we all need to remind ourselves it really another person out there on the other side of the keyboard.
As long as we can remind ourselves of that ..... we will make it through without any time outs.
6346 posts and no time out yet. One warning (which I deserved) but so far so good.
