Like I told the author, the yahoo mailing lists are not renowned for their honest criticism. I've belonged to a fair few, and I've found that the majority of them are not so amazing.
*nods* Well, the mash slash mailing list is the only group I've ever belonged to. Not to mention the first. So yeah, you're most likely correct.
I hate to sound all "Uhhh...yeah that is what I meant all along!!" but I also agree with the debating stuff. Like, I respect the fact that people have different opions and argue about it and, if they're lucky, listen to eachother. I believe in listening to other people's ideas, sure I do. I mean, it's gotten harder since I was really young and had a very open mind. But I think that I still have a pretty open mind, I'm just stubborn as a mule. But anyway, hopefully I've come accross as open minded throughout this entire "wank" fest. It may not be noticeable (I also respect the fact that people aren't mind readers) but I have been listening to what people have to say.
I'd also just like to say that it seems like a lot of people think I'm only mad about the "flaming" shit. Um. It might've come accross like that, but I assure you, that wasn't my original intent. I was just getting fed up with seeing people who think that their way is the right and only way to go. And that it is their "rightful duty" to take the poor, poor youngsters "under their wings." I've seen it happen way too often at my high school, so yeah, I probably am taking the whole thing a little too personally. But as I said before, I'm doing this for no one else but me (and maybe all the other "newbies"). And hey, there's only so much patronizing bullshit a person can take.
Oh, and that *points to subject line* is just a joke that my friend made about her debating techniques. No harm intended.
