It's been a little difficult to keep track of all the posts since I last jumped into this particular debate so I may be highlighting stuff that has already been raised and addressed. If so, I apologise in advance!
I'm also a little out of it at the moment so again, apologies if this post consists of more rambling than intended!
So: I noticed a few posters referring to 'pessimism' earlier on in the debate. As a huge fan and advocate of critical thinking I don't feel it's entirely fair to brand posters as 'pessimists' simply because they're voicing a personal opinion that may be different to somebody else's.
I can understand the term being used if someone only ever posts negatively but I'm not seeing a whole lot of that. Also worth noting is that some people are just naturally blunter than others and don't beat around the bush when it comes to posting their piece.
