I always try to stay neutral in these mud slings, but I have to agree with Paul.
No one should get you mad enough to quit any part of LUGNET. We all disagree at
times, we just shouldn't take it personnally. And yet we always do take it
personnally. When arguing a point it becomes so easy to attack someone else ("ad
hominem" - attack against the person). For those who have taken a LOGIC class, it
is one of the 41 fallacies of arguing or debating. It is much too often used as
part of arguing a point. Just keep personalities out of it (easier said than
done).
One quote that I always try to live by is "the person who angers me, controls me"!
Let's just agree to disagree.
