[QUOTE="Acquana, post: 2627474, member: 1616"] [b]Now hold on ...[/b] I disagree. I can deconstruct just about everything you've put down, but that would be hijacking the thread a tad too much. Instead I'll say that expressing anger a tremendous deal on a forum only proves the point that those who stay away would want to make. A forum shouldn't be for either "anger" or "whining" to begin with. After all, the term itself referrs more to debate than any emotional state. Debate has almost nothing to do with emotion when done properly, even if you happen to disagree with whoever you're debating with. Arguing on a venue such as this is worthless, considering that few people honestly, deeply care about what someone they've never met thinks enough to take anything they say into real consideration. So ultimately, I appreciate that I can debate a good deal more than argue on EN World, but it's not without people who take things personally and make a discussion an argument. Going back to my previous post, that's just what happens with anonymity. [/QUOTE]
