<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 635704, member: 307&quot;]I think that you also realize what we are saying and that at times we also make examples of the ridiculous to prove the mere possibility of a point. Sometimes I have made a point by using the extreme just to point out that it happens, not that it&#039;s the rule. I think that at times you do take the extreme examples that we use and try to reinforce to us that it&#039;s not the rule, when clearly we understand that fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally love the debate with Doug, he&#039;s someone who won&#039;t just give in to a point, he will try to get you to understand that point, no matter how dense you can be. I think that at times what comes off as &quot;this is it and that&#039;s the way it is&quot; is just Doug&#039;s way of trying to get us to understand his point of view when it seems unclear that we are grasping it, not telling us that he&#039;s right and we&#039;re wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, Doug, I at times think that your admin tag is a bit intimidating to users. I sometimes wish that when posting knowledge or strong opinions that you would use a &quot;neutral&quot; account thereby making it not seem like we are arguing with the administration of the site. Your opinions can be strong (as can a lot of ours) but the admin tag on your id does make it seem like Peter and the whole of the people who run the site are who we are debating with rather than just a member. </p><p><br /></p><p>It wasn&#039;t quite as pronounced until the colored bars underneath the user ids, but has since become something a bit more &quot;intimidating&quot; to newer users who don&#039;t know you as well as some of us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
