Given what this thread is about, I believe he was joking. Get it?

 

It's a little hard to read that with all of that head banging going on, get it? :) I haven't been here long enough to know when he's joking and when he isn't. So cut me slack jack. get it? ;) I'm joking just so you know..... :D

We see eye-to-eye on this. Dissenting opinion IS what drives discussion, and this is a discussion board. Every discussion board I have ever been a member of has personalities on the extreme. Boards without strong opinions and strong personalities are boards that whither and die. They are not interesting enough to retain member attention. Posters at the margins with passionately held opinions are not appreciated by everyone but the simple truth is, they drive the conversation. They spur posts. They challenge posters. And that is a good thing. This is supposed to be a medium for free exchange of thoughts and ideas, right?

 

The problem isn't with frequency or or negativity. The problem is with a lack of desire to be frequently challenged. I can understand and appreciate this, but unless the poster is getting personal then I think the problem is not with the poster, it is with the individual who gets upset.

 

This would make a good off topic conversation because I think it does need to be hashed out.

 

Disagree, the problem only exists when 'I disagree, have you considered this point, or 'valid point, but this is my opinion' turns into 'you dick, I'm right and your wrong, retard'. On this point, I agree with SDS. I love a good discussion (ie, most of the Lindy Ruff thread), but a flame war will destroy a board (ie, the end of the Lindy Ruff thread).

You missed my point in this thread if you think I am OK with personal insults. There are many posts in this thread where I state my case that non-productive personal commentary (ie. insults) should not be tolerated at any level. In fact, it is SDS that is suggesting that in some cases he is OK with personal insult. This is where I disagreed with him.

Fair enough. :)

 

While I think flame wars start a little easily considering its board for Sabres fans I do like the diversity and acknowledge you can't have everything. The majority beats the minority imho, and most of the time this is a damn good board for a discussion.

What the hell is that all about?!

I meant why does KTN get negative rep all the time?

 

I think it all stemmed from a series of bad posts, and just escalated Anchorman style from there...but I really don't remember.

 

His spiraled almost as fast as GoDD's...that's something to be proud of right there.

 

I do miss his cynicism, even if it was way off base half the time. He was like that hot sauce that adds flavor without burning ALL of your taste buds. oh well. life goes on.

I honestly do not know. I +1 him every once in awhile, when I feel like being nice and because I feel bad.
