You may have noticed that I pointed out that you make some good points. I guess it bugs me a bit to see someone trying to contribute something and their ideas are called dumb and ignorant. The person who contributed this experience (Cisco) has had some good information for some of us. Maybe the idea of using CS in the irigation is not one of the best ideas, but hardly dumb or ignorant. People here are experimenting and learning. Some things work and some don't. I'm not opposed to pointing out error. >I am not being combative for the sake of it, but don't you think we loose >credibility here if we accept stuff just because it is contributed ???? [ I do.

Forcefully yes, rudely no. The quickest way to send a bunch of people packing from a discussion is to let it deteriate into name calling and bashing. "Your idea is incorrect" is forcefull, "Your idea is stupid" is rude. >Perhaps a sharper tone will cause people to think or check their facts >before they post, and that would mean a more useful and reliable source of >knowledge, then again I may have strayed on to a social ritual that would >prefer niceties to truth. >Someone please demolish my argument, not demolish me.
