You post a bunch of replies, thing get hot, arguments occcur.
you leave for a few hours.
Everyone leaves and moves on.
you then come back and answer all the previous posts in one sitting to people who are no longer there to argue your points.
Good plan.
So, welcome.
Actually other people come back. That's one of the joys of this particular board ~ arguments can continue for days and days.
In fact, years ago you'd go to FR and folks would be dukeing it out like it was an IM feature. Improvements have been made so that we can get away from that.
So, yes, something gets going, I make a few comments ~ maybe a hot one, and then a whole big bunch of folks come back and make comments ~ sometimes agreeing with me and sometimes agreeing with you. I try to deal with each one of them
There are, of course, snobs who refuse to deal with any comment contrary to their own. Every now and then I'll target one of those guys until he comes and tells us what he really wants to say.
