[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4316921, member: 10095"] I never said all opinions are equal. My opinion is obviously superior to yours, for example. However, dismissing someone's opinion as not being legitimate because it doesn't coincide with your own is just arrogant. This is BS. No one is saying 2+2=5. You basically call people that don't agree with your opinion on the GSL cowards. That's the sign of an arrogant jerk. No, instead you just use insults and provide examples that are frankly irrelevant to the discussion. Wait a minute.. it's valid, but it's not legitimate? What's this semantic dance you're doing called, anyhow? That would be a good idea, but it's obvious from the tone of your posts that you've already made up your mind, since you declared dissenting opinions illegitimate. I never said it hurt them. I said it didn't work out exactly as they intended. And I'm not saying that they're not driven by a desire to protect their interests. I'm saying that your off-hand dismissal of dissenting opinions as illegitimate is a barrier to any kind of serious discussion, since it rejects discussion out-of-hand because anyone opposed to your opinion doesn't have a legitimate opinion in your eyes.
