@fmf saidIn the past, you and I have not agreed on this issue. You seem to take a more egalitarian approach and give most everyone some sort of response. My approach is generally that life is too short to waste time on bad ideas.
Yes, I do. I also get the impression that I engage with quite a lot of people here who think that, when they engage me, they think they are in a discussion with a low-quality poster.

@bigdogg saidThis "egalitarian" approach would not serve me well on the Debates Forum so that's why I don't post there. Mind you, I could probably use the same rationale for not posting on this forum or the General Forum!

@bigdogg saidI often lower myself to carry on a discusson with you, so what cant you do that to others lower than yourself 😀 lol.
Do you ever find yourself mired in a discussion with a low-quality poster?
I do, sometimes.
I can't help but think it would be better not to engage them at all.
I try to practice this, but sometimes I slip up.
@bigdogg saidI too often find myself engaging with posters who seem to have massive chips on their shoulders [like chaney3, RJHINDS, Duchess64, dj2becker, robbie carrobie, galveston75 and many more] ~ and it is the personal rancour caused by this chip that is clearly the REAL underlying topic rather than the matter being discussed.

@fmf saidSeeming chips aside, has it escaped your notice that you are the common element in those interactions?

OOPS!
@kevin-eleven saidI am the common element in all the conversations I have ever had with anyone and everyone here. Obviously. But not every poster I engage has a chip on their shoulder.

@kevin-eleven saidThats like the foolish man who said

OOPS!
Rum on the rocks
Scotch on the rocks
Vodka on the rocks
Gets him drunk
The common element...the rocks, is the problem.

@kevin-eleven saidIf you are interacting with a person who wants to have the same discussion as you things go great.

OOPS!
If you try to force your point of view or the discussion you want to have on others, it is a waste of time. People who will not put up with your doo doo may appear to have a chip on their shoulder.

@kevin-eleven saidMired in a bad discussion? Need to escape? We can help!
That almost sounds like the intro to a late-night infomercial.
Diversions, flame wars, aggressive PMs, random robo-calls ... We'll make that Canker Sore sorry he ever messed with you!
All this for the low price of $49 per annoying person!
