    I would like to apologize for my behavior on the boards. I have been provocative, over defensive, and over bearing over the last week or so. The worst part is, I have started to let my emotions seep into what ought to be purely logical insights. I am sorry for any hurt I may have caused. I'm gonna stay of the forum for a little while, until I can post again without offense. Once again, I'm really sorry to everyone.

    It's not that big a deal. Really. We all get heated (seriously, me included, seriously) and we all need to know when to calm down.

    It is hard balancing our feelings with our thoughts. I would really ask you to continue posting here. You have valuable insight that is going to be needed, and if you leave it will only make things worse.

    Move on from this, and let's get back to the conversation, shall we? Smile

    People will always disagree with you; there is no way of changing that. Instead of taking everything personally just see it as an alternate way of thinking. Also, as a human, you can't remove your emotions entirely; you can try to lessen them, but you just can't get rid of them.
    Seriously I have this same problem all the time. :/

    Depending on which continuity you'd be living in, you very well could be SOL. Razz

    Pretty sure that's one of Socrates' Rules of Dialogue. Something like that, at least...

    Yes, Hippie, it is. I really need to find those online and post them here. Any help with links would be appreciated.

    And yes, she, if you're a vulcan in the newest continuity, you're fucked. Razz

    Neat! I was being unintentionally Socratic!

    And she, didn't you see the new Star Trek movie? SPOILER:

    I think emotion is a great aspect to any debate, as long as you can control it. Don't worry She, everyone has their times.

    I feel everyone can take this as a positive example. We need to open out conversation without passive attacks at each other. I don't mean to be a big butt, since I should take my own advice, but we need to take into consideration of all points of a topic, understand it, then dispute it.

    Like asortafairytale said, "Instead of taking everything personally just see it as an alternate way of thinking". We all think differently and each and everyone of us should respect that position.
