I’ve decided not to have a war of words. (I’m sure that I was part of the problem) Because of stress in my own life (the death of my dad, working, studying, raising a 17 yr old, dealing with my mother, etc), I sometimes overlook key words in some people’s posts. After reading a number of responses to a topic, I sometimes get side tracked. I also realize that people’s brains are wired differently. Some may argue that my brain is wired wrong. So from now on I’m just going to state my views, and not debate with anyone. I’m just too tired. To prove my intellect is not that important to me; maybe I’m out of my league even trying to debate with some here (maybe I should have known better) I do think that we all want to be heard. I feel I’m expending too much energy in a negative way. There are more important things in life to me, and that is what I’m going to focus on. I guess I am a little oversensitive at the moment; that it seems more important to some to prove their intelligence, their wit, than caring how someone may be hurt by it. Some posts are down right mean spirited and angry. I do have free choice; I don’t have to read them or respond. I know that I’ve been a little agitated lately, and took some things too personally. If I have hurt anyone with my comments (if at times I seemed sarcastic) I do apologize. Maybe I just need to chill out for a while.

Sometimes you just need to chill a bit, take a step back. Keep the faith.

rational behavior requires us to ask if an issue is significant enough to invest in a long argument.
it's also worthwhile to get a book on common fallacies and learn the principles of good argumentation.
very few on this forum understand the principles of good argumentations.
The Watchtower writer's apparently are totally ignorant of good argumentation.
