I think that silence is far worse than any outspoken views Tourist may have.
Absolutely agree, tucumseh. The irony is that Tourist would no doubt condemn my support of your proposition as proof of me being your lapdog.
Bottom line is that discussion requires varied outlooks. Complete agreement is a death-knell for a thread, and by extension for this site. It just needs us to play nice, as exuw so rightly says.
