[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 520369, member: 34269"] You know, I have been on a lot of forums over the years. Motorcycles, Cars, Politics, Religion, and probably more that are not worth mentioning. But one thing that took me a while to understand is that you cannot change someone's mind arguing your point on a forum. (Now I know I take a risk in saying this and someone will disagree, but I save your keystrokes cause I will not argue)... I know I have never been convinced, unless someone actually pointed out an error in my sentence, and no one has admitted to me that my argument was so persuasive that they had changed theirs. I still get fired up on occasion... I have written some scathing responses to very ignorant people... but before I hit the "post" button I try to to consider my motives... I have found the delete button, and the 30 second pause, to be my best friend. Now if I could just learn not to be drawn in to the vortex of negative energy that comes from those contests... I feel better now... thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
