Good point. Still, I feel the better way of dealing something you don’t agree with is to voice your opposition to it. Not is a scathing letter to the editor, not by name calling. Just by stating your point of view.
You may not be able to win over the opposition, but you may be the voice that brings someone who is undecided over to your side.
A while ago, there was a thread (unrelated to this subject) the OP posted his question, the CR folks gave their two cents, and that was almost that.
I say, almost that, because the tone with which (for the most part) the CR people answered in, left (IMHO) the op with the distinct feeling that his question, and his presence was appreciated.
Now, today’s topic may have been over the top (if only I knew what it was?) and true, some of the posts may not have been nice and polite.
So is that the way you want to leave a running commentary? With such a sour note? No, I think the thing to do is, sit yourself down, think thru your response AND POST YOUR TAKE!
Yours just might be the opinion that the undecided folks go with.
