By "really good", I meant argumentative threads. "Sigh" if you hadn't figured, I kinda like that. Yes, I'm wired that way.LOL

What? arguing via cyberspace?? that requires a lotttt of typing, won't it? I'm tired just thinking about it. There's some that are really interesting but SOOO long... I think I get cross-eyed. I need to get a life soon and get away from my addiction to allnurses. :clown:

You haven't lived till you argued a little- it jolts you of your mindset. Makes you think hard trying to defend your stance while at the same time realising that another individual seperate from you equally has a mindset and a stance, they would go lenghts to defend.

Learning has occurred. Indulge in some healthy argument sometime.

I agree. The real issue is, if you have enough argument in real life already, isn't it? If you have enough in real life (doesn't matter who it is you're arguing with), why would you want to argue in cyberspace? boredom?

Nope. One of my creeds is to try and be agreeable within reason as possible in real-life. We agree to disagree but we do so with understanding, so the relationship is not harmed.

On cyberspace, that creed holds but it' is also like a no holds barred. People speak their thoughts as is.

correct on the first, not necessarily on the second.....this IS an international forum, remember!

I don't consider it arguing, I consider it debate, and I love a good debate. When I can present my ideas on a topic and stand behind them, I appreciate the back and forth with someone that doesn't share them....unfortunately, most people take that the WRONG way and turn it in to something personal. It's not. If everyone came to an online forum, and agreed with each other, and kissed each other's....you get the idea, it just would be a really boring place, really quickly. I like a good intellectual spar, but I don't like the true petty fights, and too many times those lines blur. Most "disagreements" aren't personal and turned that way, and that stuff just wears me out!
