I find many differing points of view, that help spur the growth of my own theories, and opinions. With the diverse population we encompass, it becomes stimulating to debate the individual "realities" we all see. Yes, even I have had my view changed by a well stated post or two, and that is the primary reason for debate.
I also find this forum a wonderful test of my emotional control, as I have had to leave many a thread, in order to remain an active member at TFP. A true testament to the skill,(or lack of) that some regulars are capable of.
