| DU members are still number one at the art of polite disagreement |
|
Even with ... well, with everything, DU is still the best at this concept.
That is something that has never changed since I landed here over ten years ago.
Anyone else ever notice this?

| 1. Depends. If I can tell someone is here just to stir up stuff, I take the gloves off. |
|
But most of the time, since we here are all mostly on the same side, I try to find a way to disagree with people amicably. And if I can't find a way to agree with friends, then I agree to disagree.

| 2. That is why I like it here, you can tell me to go to hell and make me like the trip. |
|
But isn't that the way it should be?
I hate starting a conversation with people knowing it will get confrontational and ugly as happens most of the time when you get drug into a debate with a right winger.

you are right! we do a pretty good job at disagreeing on stuff.
we should thank the guys that run this site. they don`t have egos like other people who run sites like this and they "hire" good moderators.
got to go the three month old grand daughter is "calling"!

| 6. Wow, I wish that were my experience. The Archdruid Report is stunningly polite. |
|
It's a peak oil blog (though very wide ranging) featuring the smartest man on the web, John Michael Greer - not to mention the smartest READERS/commenters. Sample essay: http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2011/08/twilight-of-meaning.html |

person. I think that stopped a lot of the harsh, un necessary tombstoning.

| 10. Not exactly sure what the "hot tub", is but I am pretty sure I don't want to go there |
|
Thanks for the tip though.
