Being that there are very few issues that have not been discussed until they have callouses on them, a number of the longs on this site are more inclined to see, what by now, are issues which are best brought up for the purpose of casting doubt, being that they already have a well defined set of responses/resolutions from many past discussions. It could be prudent for those claiming to have been following for some time, but are now embarking on their first post, to consider PMing some of the longs to answer some of these questions as it will not be taken as an attempt to "undermine" the confidence of a broader audience. Some of my early posts were hit hard by others but it simply boils down to a trial by ordeal. If you are new and come up with something perhaps controversial at a sensitive time in the sp's travel, you can expect to hear shots first and questions later. It's much like the rest of life isn't it? You shouldn't be surprised by it....whether you think it's fair or not. Something tells me that individuals will continue to hit the broader audience for maximum impact on their intended target.....and we know why.
