I know this thread is useless but it has been worth it for me just because Mango has posted numerous times in it!
When you start a thread, and you made 1/3rd of the posts in that thread, it's not a good thing. In the end, right or wrong, you can't be so determined to make people see things the way you do. It's why I learned to quit talking politics a long time ago - if people are wound up about something and rock-solid firm in their stances, you don't have a discussion, you have closed-minded arguing. Just toss in an "agree to disagree" and be okay with that. Evan
I thought the thread was about those little pissing matches that happen for real. Man, I hate those. Sometimes I use the "I'm more insane than you" tactic. It usually doesn't go too well. What's you're tactical retreat? Because going to jail and getting sued sucks.
It's best if you precisely articulate your views, then see how people respond, then carefully consider and respond to those responses, and so attempt to arrive at a mutually acceptable conclusion. It's called a "debate", and it's much more productive than just posting the same things over and over (a "pissing match").
That kinda depends. What exactly do you mean by "best?" Because if you mean "most effective," the top option is the best. If you mean "most fun," the bottom option is the best. The the middle option is a little bit of both.
