[QUOTE="Pascal.Pincosy, post: 24056, member: 15"] Re: hyper inflation in the USA? Oh jeez JR! I have no opposition to you. I do have opposition to you unfairly attacking someone as opposed to attacking an idea, just like you did over on PSW. I'm not out to get you and in general I find many of your posts to be informative and helpful. However there are two things that regularly bother me about forums. One is discussion that just can't seem to rise above petty jabs or ad hominem attacks against others. The second is when new posters to a forum get attacked for making a point that the regulars consider wrong and unpopular. Early in my days on the LAB, I forwarded my beliefs about how phase slopes would effect the interaction between 2 different models of subs in a room and was immediately attacked by a large number of members who didn't agree with my point. In that case I was lucky and Tom Danley came to my rescue and validated my statement. The point I'm trying to make is that by taking an adversarial stance in these sorts of discussions, we turn them into an argument instead of a civil discussion, create negative feels, and create division. Do we want new posters to leave this forum feeling like they were unfairly attacked, no matter how right or wrong their comments are? Or do we want them to feel like they were treated kindly and educated about the topic at hand, while giving them a fair chance to make their case? If we want this forum to expand and grow to include more posters from the massive ranks of those who lurk on these forums, then we need to be kind to those that post here. Otherwise they will leave and not come back. PS I know what a troll is ;) PPS You did jump the shark. Oil executives and investors will happily embrace higher oil prices, and will in fact fight for them just as much as the "treehuggers", if not more so. [/QUOTE]
