You seem to be implying that the vast majority of posters on this site agree with each other, and anyone who doesn't is shouted down. I vehemently disagree with this assertion, CP is full of opinions and challenges.

I actually didn't mind the dude rambling on about questioning Facebook's valuation, because I learned from it. He ended up, I agree, not providing evidence or good logic /rationale as to his position but maybe they learnt something in that debate and eventually agreed, or maybe they just didn't have time to respond? If we continue to hammer on people who bring up, what
you think, are "unintelligent barbs" then they won't post here. If that poster comes in here, he now knows that you are essentially calling him an unintelligent barb, even though he may not be. Nice.
Yes, we disagree on your second paragraph, that's my general impression, and you should have seen what this place was like a few years ago because- again just a general impression, not a hard or fast rule, but generally speaking, this site was a lot more welcoming to differing opinions. This is very off topic though, so I won't continue on. I just agree with tjinaz in general.
