That ain't no target sir.


yes, but it's aimed at his back


sir
He works for beckett tho, what do you expect??

While I have no qualms with Chris...as a rep of beckett, you're going to get crap thrown at you...deserved by Chris or not.

The same people who take potshots at Beckett are the same people who take potshots at UD for sterotypical things.

Now, I would like to think the people who take shots at Razor are in a higher level of intellect of their own :mrgreen:

I may be simplifying it to much, but I think a lot of the problems are that if someone raises a topic or opinion, if another disagrees, that's when the pissing wars start. I think everyone should understand that there are going to be disagreements, but that's ok. People can state their opinion but others responding with different views should not get pissed that they have different views. A discussion that has different views is an effective one when, an only when, the environment is constructive and NOT destructive.

I get more info when people disagree and state their reasons why. For the most part it can enlighten and help me make a more informed decision.

Couldn't agree more. Wouldn't be much of a discussion board if the only things discussed were the things people only agreed upon...civility is what's necessary, not the promotion of any one agenda.

So, to clarify. I am allowed to THINK everyone who disagrees with me is a moron, but I can only SAY things that encourage them to better their education. That about right?

hopefully this goes without saying but in case it isn't clear...
emphasizing some words with caps is not necessarily passive aggressive. including 90% of my posts. for instance: "i absolutely ADORE the show seinfeld"
certainly someone who was being passive aggressive would use the caps, but it's not entirely inclusive.

You can disagree with someone and argue your point without being rude or insulting.

That's one problem I've noticed lately; it's hard to get a friendly debate going as in the end it goes to name-calling and nonsense.
