This isn't the sense I get at all. Unconventional opinions are easily, and usually pretty snidely, dismissed.

I think you did, or there's very little chance that you would have gotten the point I was trying to make.

Because it's a discussion board with a quote function. The title of a thread sets a topic for discussion. People then say what they think about that. Then other people say what they think about what the first people thought, and so on. This is how a message board works. You really believe that the standard should be not to disagree with anyone?
Being condescending with your responses is not a respectful way of having a discussion. Leave the homer crap out of the discussions and don't assume Flames fans are biased.

If someone doesn't get your point then move on. Expecting everyone to agree with your views and pushing the debate to a level where you state others are wrong or that their views are not credible is a quick way to get banned from this site.
