Tyler Durden Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It's good to have diverse opinions but it's also good to have diverse opinions respected.

I was actually just thinking that the forum is getting worse by the day. Having diverse opinions is great but when a poster tries to pass off their opinions as fact, it doesn't do anything for debate, it seems to me.

Debate is easy to be honest but it can get heated because opinions can be entrenched. We have to do our best and by and large the mods on here sort most things in a good way.

Some of them are effing stupid. What needs to be respected is the right to express those opinions and the right to challenge opinions. And that includes laughing at someone's opinion. Threats and insults aren't opinions. Feel free not to respect them at all.? Rev, i-Ram, Tyler Durden and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it's a difficult one isn't it I mean then every thread that gets started you'd then have to provide a factual source or link for your opinion as in the Transfer thread. When people start posting about their intimate physicians knowledge about Mel Morris' current state of health to defend him for example then it does grow very tiresome.

At times like that, I always think of Tommy Smith's patio set and the whole notion of inside knowledge becomes ridiculous. Tyler Durden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 The way to express an opinion is to say "I think that..." "In my view..." Not Lawrence is crap Rooney is clueless. We are getting relegated. Must have been hundreds of posts said exactly the latter last season. Turned out not one of them was fact.

Good post Curtains. I happen to be an atheist but believe there are similarities with being a football fan and religion. Those that will be attending a church service as we speak will be a diverse group of people with differing views on what the church and their faith means to them. Some will listen and agree with everything the vicar or whoever is giving the service says and ask no questions, whereas others might be more vocal and ask questions and challenge certain things, maybe the church’s views on homosexuality for example. But ultimately they all have their faith and leave that service as Christians or whatever religious group they are part of. That’s exactly how it is being a Rams fan for me. We might disagree on some things and agree on others but when we walk in to Pride Park we are all Rams fans and want the best for the team.
