Ironic as it sounds, Saw says he misses viewpoints o f those who could not tolerate the viewpoints of others, and then proceeded to do something really stupid to get banned. Why doesn't it surprise me that you'd support someone that doesn't tolerated other points of views, Saw?
I'd rather have an intelligent man disagree with me, call me an idiot and proceed to make his points than sit around in a mutual admiration society and trade nods.
Every one of those guys had strong viewpoints.. not MY viewpoints but valid from thier perspective... and I LEARN by being forced to think, I gain experience by seeing the world through others eyes..
The furious debates were welcome fodder for my brain.. and I miss these guys, their viewpoints and counterpoints. I miss hot and furious debate, and like them, never hesitated to roll my sleeves up and fight 'em out on whatever level they wanted to hold the discussion.
It's unfortunate that the 'level' sometimes slipped lower than 'O'club Minimums', and they are not entirely responsible for the low level some of them got to.
