[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 25388, member: 923"] dressedcheese: I agree that there are some personal attacks against a person because of their views, and it should not be. However, I think some are unduly defensive because someone disagrees with the philosophy they have posted. When I disagree with a person, it is the philosophy I am debating, not the character of the poster, but they sometimes think the disagreement is against them personally. In fact, my wife becomes defensive if I ever say anything that is opposite her stance. I have a grandson who is the same (takes after his Granny). Over the years, I have tried to evaluate this action, and the best reason I see for this action, is that those people who are defensive have some type of complex and take it as an attack against them; they cannot stand for their view to be called into question. I try to be careful of this on the board, but sometimes it can't be helped. When I or others are completely opposite a view in a debate, we might call the view BS, but that is not a slap at the poster, it means we feel strongly against that view and show it by our statement. I doubt if some on the board will ever be able to curb that defensive attitude about it calling their character into question. I have been married to my wife for 53 years, and she hasn't changed a bit about being defensive when her view is called into question. [/QUOTE]
