[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 8946625, member: 64209"] Imagine someone is having a bad day. "I am awesome +". Maybe they just want to hear good things about themselves that day. No constructive criticism, no jibes, no "well, this one time you___, so maybe grow from that". Or imagine someone is feeling upset about Star Wars because of the sequels. "Tell me all the awesome things about Star Wars+". They don't want to hear about the bad things at this moment. Or imagine they need to figure out reasons why Star Trek is better than Star Wars. Maybe they're compiling them. Maybe they need to compile both sides of such a debate without it getting derailed...so they post BOTH a "Tell me the ways Star Trek is better than Star Wars+" "Tell me the ways Star Wars is better than Star Trek+" **** I think what people who are unhappy with + threads, especially when they are "not in good faith" is that there is an assumption in the tone. One might feel an urge to respond to "Star wars is better than Star Trek+" in a way that they might not to "Tell me the ways Star Wars is better than Star Trek. I am compiling a list of these ways+" The former is saying that you are WRONG if you don't think that. The latter is just asking for one point of view. But the thing is, either way, you don't have to participate. And if you want to correct the "you are WRONG" element, then you CAN DO IT!!! Just in another thread. [/QUOTE]
