There are a lot of reasons the TC and 12th guys don't come on here. Here's one that encapsulates the many...
Me, me, me, me... And your responsibility to anyone else...?
Here's one that gets ignored most of the time...
Why can't most people take a more considered view...
...or make a considered argument that allows people to live and let live?
You lot often come across as equally arrogant, but you seem to add rude and ignorant to that too, on too many occasions. Some things do seem to defy logic, and some people are not good at dealing with others. There is never an excuse for being rude to people, or ignorant in one's behaviour, just because you don't get what you want, or others don't agree with you.
I realise this won't make the slightest difference to most of you, and I regret that I shan't live long enough to see you change with age and experience. But you will! I am a child of the 1960s. We were no less bold in our opinions, or our desire to change the World. But we weren't rude, we weren't ignorant of others, and we were taught to give others respect, whoever they were. We are, however, more mellow and grumpy - because we didn't change the World!!
You want more people on this forum; I'd like to use this forum more. For that to happen there needs to be change and there needs to be compromise. In the same way you criticise Rob for not having those traits, do you have them? The evidence of this thread is you don't. Things, therefore, are not likely to change!
Let the flaming begin!
