I am not here to tell others what I think of them, rather to present my side of the argument. But if someone thinks I am imposing myself over them, I find something to be wrong and have to reply, but in the process feelings are ruffled. I find in this group people seldom change their mind, but still you have to keep the conversation going because if the ideas are not expressed it is useless having them. And who knows I myself may learn from it.
