...It would be shortsighted to disallow others to hold views different from our own, and to suggest that they are therefore too far up their own [asses] is both rude and not helpful in having a discussion as is the notion that a different view needs to lead to an argument.
If the view of only some people is allowed to be 'the right one' it may well feel cosy for a bit but ultimately will get a bit nepotistic and lonely.
Although this is ultimately not our trainset, I think that since it is a public forum others should be allowed dignity when airing their views.
Almost prophetic, I wish I could remember where I read that...
