1. Thanks for posting.

2. Yes we are a 'family' which sometimes disagrees, but should be respectively done.

3. I like when people do not agree with me and offer their reasons. This help for me to learn a different view point or actual facts which help me see the complete situation.

4. There is a wealth of experiences and a view points which needs to be offered and considered. I find this very helpful to read all this input.

So thanks everyone for the feedback....

1. Thanks for posting.

You are welcome. I've been meaning to post about this for a long time, and I finally decided to do it. I'm not sure I came up with the best words to describe the idea, but I think I got the point across to most people.

2. Yes we are a 'family' which sometimes disagrees, but should be respectively done.

Or at least if you have to be disrespectful, do it with a smile. :)

3. I like when people do not agree with me and offer their reasons. This help for me to learn a different view point or actual facts which help me see the complete situation.

And this is exactly how we should always approach a discussion. One of the troubles I find with this approach is that a lot of people often don't have good reasons for their different viewpoint. Sometimes people believe things because it's "common wisdom", or because they have been misled by certain sources of information that they trusted to inform them accurately.

The advantage of discussion is that sometimes fallacious ideas can be unwound and corrected.

4. There is a wealth of experiences and a view points which needs to be offered and considered. I find this very helpful to read all this input.

So thanks everyone for the feedback....

Yes. Even the negative feedback. In fact, especially the negative feedback, because that allows us to correct our ideas or information.
