RE: [RC] kids/stick a fork in it - StephTeeterAh yes... from Angie's Oath to Angie's Wrath :) Steph (and she's right on!) -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of rides2far@xxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:36 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] kids/stick a fork in it OK guys, when there's a subject on here it tends to go through several stages: First, the idea is new. Some people post their ideas. Others post the other side of the argument which has some valid points the first person hadn't considered. The two sides are debated in a healthy debate. This is the stage where the cake is just right...it's "done". This is a discussion forum, not a solution forum. There is no way to make it happen on RC, we just put out ideas and may attempt to sway the opinions of others so that in the places where it does count (elections, etc) they may vote in a way which will promote our version of the "right way". Unfortunately the discussion usually continues. This is when we have a tendency to turn up the heat and it starts to smell. People start to inject emotion and lots of "What ifs" into the discussion. The goal at this point is to make the other side admit they're right. If they don't admit it, they bring out more examples and "What ifs?" This is when it gets a bit redundent. Now we're into quantity of postings rather than novelty of ideas. Most people have begun to hit the delete key by now. Those who have put the most into the argument seem to get to mentality that the last one to post on the subject wins. Maybe we should go with the old Ben Franklin rule...company and fish...and subject lines, stink after three days.
