Opinions

[OEW3]

So does this mean that every time someone get on here to say that its their "opinion" that 10" speakers are "faster" than 15" speakers, which "go lower" than 12" speakers, that poster will get a special snowflake award that their feelings are just as important as someone who knows what they are talking about?

No. I think he just means we don't necessarily have to beat the poster into the ground relentlessly for sharing his/her "opinion", no matter how uninformed it may be. Respectfully disagree and maybe leave it at that instead of the brutal trip to pound town that some seem to get around here. Just a guess though.

Yeah. A little while back there was a Lawyer here on TBOT that took a good 2 or 3 day beating. I'll admit that I joined in for a couple posts before I caught myself. Then I just thought "He seems like his heart's in the right place. C'mon guys, back off." So yeah, I think it's best take a step back sometimes and cut some slack.

"Special" snowflake award? No, Just Snowflake award; or as they say around here a "Participation Ribbon".

I think it's old hard-wiring, left over in the brain from the Cro-mag years or something. Pack mentality. The beast is bleeding, quick everybody get em! We all fall into it now and again, nearly all of us anyway. It can be hard to resist in a moment when you "feel so right" about something, or maybe just pissed off about some stupid unrelated thing and end up taking it out on some dude who just doesn't happen to like a purple sparkle tort guard on his made in China Ric copy.
I always feel like a total jerk afterwards regardless of the actual right of the matter, and it happens less and less because of the self inflicted shaming I undergo. I'm trying to be good TB, I swear. But I'm only human, and weak.

Yeah, you have to ask yourself "why do I even care about this?"

Opinions are like butts. Everybody has one and most of them stink!

 

[neo 7]

You guys can discuss this all you want, but my opinion is the only one that matters. Sheesh, if you're so smart why'd you misspell a word, huh?

You know what they say about opinions:
Their just like a certain body part - Everyone's got one.
Some people just act more like that certain body part than others..

I almost NEVER act like a belly button.
