Re: A Call to Reason
Yes, this was locked. But it was locked because of replies, not hopfrog's original post. So it was re-opened.
hopfrog, you make some good points. But, this is a forum. Where things are argued. It's inherent. As long as things are kept in line, I think argument is fun and healthy.
I often compare forums to bars. This is a bunch of guys sitting around, drinking beers, and shooting the breeze. Now, if you think about hanging out with friends at a bar, how often is the conversation:
"The '25 Yankees were the best team ever."
"Yeah. You're right."
"I agree too."
"I'm glad you feel that way - perhaps you have a point."
"I disagree, but I won't say you're wrong."
OR
"The '25 Yankees were the best team ever."
"Are you kidding!"
"No way!"
"What are you smoking?"
If we all agreed, it'd be an awfully boring place here....
