[Klug-general] Expressing opinions

[Mike]

Well, I have just spent a hour of my time reading the iPhone thread.  It would 
be very nice if, when posting options, people could think carefully about 
what they are saying.  Please try to be open minded and objective in what you 
are saying.  Try to be realistic and balanced in what you say and backup your 
comments with facts.  If you disagree with something, respond in the same 
way; state *why* you disagree and back this up with facts.

I am, quite frankly, horrified by some of the comments that have been posted 
this evening.  Is it really necessary, in a conversation about the Apple 
iPhone, to deviate onto such subjects as religion and oral sex?  If you have 
an opposing opinion surely it would be better to express that in a 
constructive and factual way?  If you have to resort to being patronising and 
name calling, really your argument is already lost.

Mike.
