    When you read other topics on here, do you feel that you have to condradict and confute the person or the subject matter or both, the person and the subject matter? Or, do you kindly direct a misinformed person to the right thinking on the topic posted by such person?

    Do you just believe and take for granted what a popular poster may write for their topic, or do you still weigh and consider no matter who it is that writes a topic for us to read?

    The latter, no matter the poster, or subject. Although I have strong personel opinions, on certain topics, I work hard to be open minded and would dialouge with anyone, unless it turned into one of those wall banging arguments, then I'd drop out. There is no value in going around in circles.

    WELL if it is an intellectual heavy weight on this board I will always these days read carefully what they have to say- I often but not alwys agree with them and these days - if it is about the trinity for example will not even bother commenting

    Ouch, such a JW term. Everyones opinion is equally valid IMHO, and even if it is not, that's cool!

    good topic. I was only thinking that myself recently...if someone is popular on this forum does it really matter what they raise in there topics will people just reply coz that persons seems to be popular????? I think this is the case at times. I know at times when i feel a person maybe perhaps is misguided i only state my opinion on the matter, but i never want to disrespect that person. es
