I admit to willingly participating in this because I was off today and had nothing better to do. :)
I don't think Jorge or anyone else has been much out of line in this thread. And it's really only ever a handful of people that perpetuate these debates until they devolve. Myself included. I think they're a lot of fun, but I do try to restrain myself from getting involved in all of them so as not to permanently bring down the atmosphere of the list. I don't think it's bad to have people debate things on the list. Even if it's the same topics sometimes. Not everyone has been around for 2+ plus years. And not everyone can make it to conferences costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars in order to debate in person. So to a lot of people, this is where the community is. You guys have been increasingly quick to shut down lively debate. And as a consequence, the list is pretty boring these days. Take that however you like. When you guys stomp in like angry parents all the time, it starts to feel way too "professional" around here. Just sayin. :Marco On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 3:14 PM, Mikeal Rogers <[email protected]>wrote: > Jorge, > > This is me asking you nicely to stop.
