The forum is good sometimes and bad sometimes. Every once in a while I lock horns with someone -- Rick or Herk or Robdar -- and the heated exchange is cathartic. There are so many people in my life with whom I'm unable to argue, so it's good to find and duke it out with their counterparts here, even if, paradoxically, their counterparts are ex-Witnesses.
All that's good. What's bad, I suppose, is the sheer volume of fluff, some of it fun, of course, but there's so damn much of it. And, yes, the number of questions Minimus asks is "out there," in my view. Many posters on those threads don't read the thread before answering, so eager are they to give their own "experiences." The result is redundancy. Still, once in a while a question asked by Minimus gets my attention, and I don't mind responding. I try to acknowledge other people's answers, though, or to say something new.
I wish there was more heat, actually, more passionate debate backed with substance.
