Depends if anyone wants to continue discussing it. This is a discussion board, if I'm not mistaken.

I got my point across in the first post. Now I am just discussing a topic with fellow board members. Why is that a problem for you?

It's not like I'm just spamming replies. I'm only posting when others continue a discussion with me.

For the record, I appreciate your responses and agree with almost all of them. (not that it matters much)

Not a problem at all, post all you like. Like another member I get great joy in reading these threads. When one to three people have most of the posts in a thread trying to convince each other they are correct by repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over it makes me smile.

I don't believe any of us have been repeating the same thing over and over. As points are made, new nuance to the discussion is added. And those new points get discussed. It has nothing to do with convincing anyone of anything. It's just discussing a topic. I find it comical how many people shy away from any lengthy discussion mistaking it for something it isn't. If you aren't willing to engage those with different points of view, you'll never learn.

What I have never understood (and this is nothing new here at all), is why people who aren't interested in a particular discussion just don't move on, but instead snipe at and sometimes mock the more active participants (as if THEY were somehow superior and above it all), criticize the number of posts, and completely mischaracterize the motives of the more active participants. As though they were being forced to read it.

Agreed.

You and I have seen eye to eye twice today. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

j/k of course. I always enjoy our discussions.

To me, having discussions with people who disagree, and having to articulate one's own views in response to other people's points, are how one learns. The world would be boring as hell if everyone agreed on everything. And yeah, the intolerance for discussion on a discussion board is just baffling.

Stop pretending, Peter. It's not a discussion. It's always a one way conversation when it comes to posts by you and the Ohio guy. What you two put out when you chime in and take over any thread is the final answer, etched in stone. About any subject. There's no discussion. You two know everything. All the world's problems could be solved, if only everyone agreed with you. But that's okay. It just is what it is.
