Incidentally, "homer" does not mean "idiot". It means someone is biased and their opinion is influenced by that bias to a point where it is not particularly credible.
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?

Actually, I did - AFTER I replied and posted my reply. Doesn't take a genius to understand where you were going with that, especially reading some of your other abrasive posts in the past. I find it hilarious when posters post so abrasively that it causes a stir, and then throw up their hands in their claiming they are getting ganged up on. There are many posters from other teams even that are highly respected on these forums. It isn't about a different viewpoint or argument - it is how you make your points and how they are received. Understand?
