Just One Mans Opinion

[cavscout]

argumentativeness and debate are ingrained.

This sums up the issue the most. There are some who are seeking any chance to be offended or victimized and in the absence of a real issue will take advantage of a very small one or one had by someone else (who didn't care enough about it to post it themselves). There seems to be some who cannot have a discussion, it has to be a debate and there must be a winner and looser. There are ways to have a courteous conversation, and it should be easier if we are all acting in good faith for the betterment of the forum. Can we all say we want the best for this forum?

I have not seen anywhere where Steve has been rude or dismissive to anyone about the forum. I have however seen many posters in several threads get pretty belligerent about minor subjects.
