The majority should not hold power over an individual's right and capacity for independent thought.
It would be a whole 'nother case if one person was posting 50 times about his dissent here. Hold the individual responsible to their actions, not the group, to judge a person's right to beat the horse.
Glad you have your opinion, didn't know this was a war to be fought about. Your avatar's sub title is, "Antagonist". How ironic.
Did I ever say this thread would have meaningful socratic discussion? You're assuming a lot here.
If you think this is crude or savage bashing, I implore you to go over to NASIOC and post this video in the exact same fashion. Or Hondatech. Or lowlife. Or Miata forums. Come back and let's talk about your findings. Where's the douchebaggery in this community, again?

Is the above statement not a comparison of a "meaningful socratic discussion" to this thread? If not, why bother mentioning that point at all?
I, again, did not say that there is "savage bashing" or anything even close to that, so once again you're putting words in my mouth for the sake of justifying the content of your last paragraph that you wanted to fit into your response. "

There's nothing wrong with being NICE or POLITE to people. If you are at work and someone is wearing an ugly sweater, you don't need to go out of your way to tell them that it's ugly. You don't need to express negativity all the time.
It's not a requisite of being a member of a forum either.. your opinion is apparently opposite of that, and you're entitled to it. My opinion is people should have more restraint with negative opinions of people's choices.
