From high school on in education and in what public life most debate was between myself and another or groups of like minded DEBATING an issue and letting others decide any validity on their own. This said and my point; Anything you give as an opinion today, I could easily validate or find information to the complete opposite. It puzzles me when two or more posters start giving 'sites' that conform to their opinions, letting that opinion get lost in the discussion. I'll mention Craig, as a moderator and Pluto as a poster. Both, I am sure are intelligent and would make good debaters, but many times its very difficult for me to determine their personal viewpoint.

Let me point out that you are violating our rules.... yet again. Form an opinion on this:

This is a forum for discussing science and technology. Basically, we welcome anything that falls within these realms. We like to consider ourselves open minded, but we do not like to see commercials, arrogant comments, or flames. Nor do we accept posts that are obvious attacks on other members, or which make other members appear needlessly stupid or ignorant. It is, however, okay to point out that you believe a member is in violation of our rules. You can also report posts to the administrators for review.

How should I behave?
Be yourself. But please respect these ground rules:

1.In general, back up your claims by using links or references.
...
3. If you want to refute someone's claims, please stay calm and point out where you think they went wrong, and what kind of proof you base your own opinion on.
4. Do not post links to other sites as proof of your claims without commenting what the relevant sites say and why they are important to the current discussion.
5. Statements like "I just know that this is the way it is" (especially when religion is being discussed) are considered ignorant and might be deleted. Likewise, users who have an obvious agenda behind the majority of their posts may be banned. ...

OT Let's help recreate America by challenging the meme that pointing out someone is violating the rules is 'snitching'.
