Ease,

There is no need to apologise for posting opinions in a thoughtful and respectful way. After all, isn't that what we all want.

We need the opportunity to put our thoughts out there for honest discussion, so that we can consider other points of view.

We just need to be generous enough to let others have the same opportunity that we would want for ourselves.

There will always be people who have their own agenda and post accordingly; this is hard to identify sometimes and impossible to control. This is why we need to state our reasons for thinking the way we do. Then everyone can make their own decisions.

You make good points in your post. Good food for thought. :-)

AIMHO
