In reply to the discussion: Appreciation Thread for WilliamPitt [View all]MineralMan
(146,351 posts)I often disagree with that viewpoint, but I don't want him not to express it. When I disagree with him, I say so in his threads. If he's here, I hear his viewpoint and have an opportunity to agree or disagree. If he is not here, I don't. It's that simple.
People are recommending this thread. Perhaps he'll see that and return to DU. I'm all for that. Some people are mistaking my reason for posting. I hope he returns. If he posts things that I disagree with, then I'll have an opportunity to say what I think. If I don't read his perspective on things, that's one fewer opportunity to state my opinion.
DU is about opinions. I wan't people to share their opinions, whether I agree or disagree.
And there it is. I don't care how others interpret this thread, really. People are recommending it to convince WilliamPitt to come back and post. That was the intent - to let people make their feelings known. It's up to WilliamPitt to decide, not me.
