I think most of us here in the board like and expect a diversity of views. What I personally don't like to see is a post that says something like "X is true and if you don't agree with me, you are a moron". No facts, no reasoning, just a statement and a challenge. Fortunately, we don't have may of these. I don't think that Outsiderfan and Teejers do this. I sometimes agree with them, and sometimes do not. However, we do collectively waste lots of emotional energy arguing about things that are unknowable (and in some cases, not even defineable). That is fine, we seem to enjoy it. But we all must remember that many of these issues are not objectively knowable. They are opinions, hopefully well reasoned from documented facts. Sometimes, we get a good deal less, but YMMV :).
