MOST FORUMS COOPERATE AND PROTECT EACH OTHER

[♔Chello]

I also was in a controlled panic state when the forum wasn't available yesterday. I knew I shouldn't panic, but I wanted to.

I appreciate you Chello, you have your views (don't we all) yet when I saw a mention here on something I had a different view on I posted my opinion and it was accepted.
When I wrote it I was new here, knew little of it all yet was aware of your opposite opinion on this. I was prepared for my post to be removed or to cause me to be banned, but I thought if I can't say my view, my personal experience, then do I really want to stay? Yes, I like files and this is a treasure trove of them but I value members and content more. I didn't want to leave but I didn't want to feel I must hide my opinions either. So I said my piece and very much respect it was allowed to stand, and i could stay. Whew!!

Nice that you are enjoying yourself so much with us, and I also really appreciate your active presence, as well as your great way of being here.

I have definite opinions about most things, but I am also open to other people's opinions.
Sometimes I may seem very determined and give the impression that my opinion is the only right one, but my intention is usually only to make the topic a little more controversial, so that everyone's opinions come out.
Maybe I will learn something new, as I actually often do.

Exchange of opinions is very important in order to find the real truth about a topic, which is often the sum of everyone's opinions.

There is something called discussion technique, which largely involves creating controversy about a topic, in order to bring out all sides of an issue, without this coming at anyone's expense.
The latter is particularly important to adhere to, and requires that one must respect another's opinion, even if one deeply disagrees.


In principle, every opinion has the right to be expressed, as long as it is not presented in a way that violates the opinions of others.
