Its not anybody's approval that needs to be sought... Its a
matter of the quality of the discussions sometimes and how it
degenerates into senseless, spoilt kid "i dun care i dun have to
listen to u i have freedom of expression" type of remark.
Granted, we can all come in here, talk a bit of crap, criticise
without basis, dun have to care about being constructive but what
happens when pple ask questions? What happens when pple seek
clarifications? What happens when pple *GASP* disagree???!!!
That's when discourse, discussion and debate comes in and it would
be nice if we can try that without hurling insults at each other
all the time!
Its ok to have strong views and be passionate. But its not entirely
ok try and shut the other person up with insults and personal
attacks without addressing the issue that is being discussed.
There had been occasions when I had indulged in name calling and
I'm not proud of it.
If we can all open our minds and try to be more civilized and well
mannered, I'm sure we can make Speaker's Corner a better place.
