Well, I just wanted to respond to the general situation. To posters in general before things get spiraling out of control. First, things are NOT out of control so I will pre-empt anyone saying that I am posting things because my perception is things are out of control.
I just want to inject a few things here.
First, everyone on this board is here because of their posting history, style, etc. We tend to be open minded and accepting of others position.
Second, I think in general, our population tends to be more intelligent than the average poster. Both in football IQ (almost all posts are 10/10 football posts). There are a lot of smarts on the board. I myself have a genius IQ, and I know I'm not the only one on this board that does. So the follow up.... when intelligent people who tend to be right more often than the norm disagree on things, they tend to not want to back down and "stuff" goes back and forth forever.
While entertaining for a short while, it wears on both the thread and the tone of the board.
So, back to my original point. Everyone here has exhibited strong opinions while also being open to others opinion and viewpoints. I think in part because we all smart enough to know that we may be smart, but many times we are also wrong. I think though that something has happened and our tolerance to others has somehow diminished. This is not an admonishment as much as it is an observation. And I think that some of this may be tied to my other observation ---- tensions build when people just don't let go.
So here is the point of all this and a personal request if I might ask...
Let's ALL of us take a look at our interaction and be honest. Is there maybe some way we could have done something different. I am seeing some stuff getting a little too personal and have not said anything ---- mostly because I respect EVERYONE on this board and I think this post is the best way to handle stuff. Nothing is wrong that we ourselves as an intelligent community can't fix ourselves by taking a deep breath and being a little introspective.
So please take this as it was meant. Really just a rallying call for the best people in the best forum (a realistic look at any warts we might have compared to other places and you know it's true) to take a breath, and let's do this like we know we can, ok?
Thanks Guys!
