inb4 someone mistakenly reads this in a negative or disapproving tone of voice and the thread continues to devolve in a series of misunderstandings before hitting rock-bottom at full-blown drama. There, now I've reverse-jinxed it, and it stands no chance of happening.
Well, I dunno, the only way people resolve differences of opinions is to talk about them. Key is figuring out when it's just a matter of people thinking in different ways (...all experiences get recycled back into writing. all of them). But, for my part, most of my responses are me trying to figure out if I'm understanding points right, and trying to clear up if certain things said are said seriously or as hyperbole (me making assumptions about tone and intent always turns out badly). Oh so many times have I tried explaining ideas only to spend an extra half hour to hour clearing up misunderstandings...
Still though, I think it's a fun thread. Differences of opinions, disagreements, moments of bewilderment and all.
