<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 3048338, member: 24754&quot;]I agree with everything that you said entirely. Even the parts where you insinuate that I was making uninformed assumptions, I was. I presented arguments using extreme over-generalizations. This is done because that&#039;s the easiest way to get the point across (admittedly, kind of lazy on my part). But, it&#039;s also done with the anticipation that someone will thoughtfully, politely, and comprehensively address the faulty assumptions. Unfortunately, that&#039;s generally not the case in these forums. When people immediately jump to insults, sarcasm, and other false demonstrations of self-assumed superiority, then the conversation goes nowhere. I&#039;m certainly not saying that [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] is unique in having been productive in the conversation, but his posts serve as good examples of a more effective way of doing things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t take these things personally, as I mentioned before, I just enjoy a good discussion. However, it is worth mentioning that a private message discussion with [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] has helped put the occurrences of this particular thread in perspective. He pointed out that the topic of cleaning is contentious in general, largely because it&#039;s been addressed from every angle so many times in these forums that&#039;s it&#039;s &quot;played out&quot; in the minds of those that have been around for a while. From that perspective, it&#039;s somewhat understandable that people would tend to be short. We just have to keep in mind that &quot;newbies&quot; don&#039;t have that perspective, and could get the wrong idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
