Single Issue Debaters

[jdobbin]

There are a few people here with a wide variety of interests and opinions on numerous subjects. It is always interesting to hear, especially from people with articulate and well thought responses. I can honestly say some folks have changed my mind on something because their argument on it was compelling.

There are others who are bloody single minded about issues and don't move from from them. They put down, insult and justify just about everything to argue their position. And in the end, they generally turn everyone off with their responses.

I think we all know of a few threads that are just too my side - your side back and forths.

There are too few threads that ask people what they think and then interact on that premise that maybe they'll learn something from one another.

To that end, I'm going to try to not be drawn in so much to these dead end discussions.

What are other people thoughts on the forums? Are too many being highjacked by single issue people? Are there some threads where some knowledge is actually imparted? I certainly am interested in those type of discussions.

Anyways, just thinking aloud here. Once again, I'd like to say that there some really interesting folks here and that often they say something that makes you really stand up and take notice. I really appreciate that.

Like who?

On a serious note, this thread would probably fit better in the "Support" section.

Not yourself. You have a wide variety of interests and no particular single issue that you are stuck on.

And I thought about putting this on support. I guess it is possible that some of the more focused issues could get their own forum. Something for the moderator to consider and probably already has considered.
