Thanks for the "let's step back for a couple of minutes"

roachboy, I agree with your last post.

Another couple of things that I find boards are not conducive to, that do not help the conversations and in cases like these ones exacerbate the polorization, are:
- The ability to have one flow of conversation. Becuase we are not infront of each other it is hard to maintain a single conversation. instead we feel the need to reply to alot of the diffeent comments that have been made cuasing multilpe conversations, and then multipl replies, and so on...
- How hard it is to sometimes go through a whole history to explain why you feel a comment is wrong. Becuase doing this necessitates writing something really long (takes a long time and people might not read it), which is often a lot of effort when you know you will likely not get anybody to re-think their stance, we never end up resolving things or getting aproper opinion out anyway. It is much easier to have a shot one-liner saying "hey, idiot, you are wrong"
