I've got an idea.
How about we accept that Melvey has his opinion, and he entitled to it. Others can state theirs. And then we can agree to disagree.
Why do we have to have so much of this incessent (I'm right, you're wrong) tit for tat on here? Why can't we state our opinion once, restate it if it is unclear to someone, and then, if needs be, simply agree to disagree, and move on to another discussion?
On a personal level, I love much of the discussion on here, it's why I (and I suspect other TCers) spend so much time here. But as soon as it starts going back and forwards into a slanging match...it's bloody boring.
Melvey has his view. Others have theirs. People have put forward their thoughts. A little discussion back and forwards. Then agree that there is disagreement.
This site is for discussion. It is for hearing different views. It is for accepting that even though we have the same love and passion for our Club, some of our views differ, for whatever reason. Whether we think that reason is valid or not. It is NOT about trying to convince the world that 'I am right and everyone else has to see it my way'. That comes from insecurity of our own position, or own beliefs. It is also what causes conflict and war.
And
IF there are people on here who post to be controversial or senstionalist, as some have suggested (and I am not saying there are), then maybe if we avoid the tit for tat, people might actually be more true to their own beliefs. Just a thought.
There, I have said my peace. Now agree with me or @#$%&! off
