Everyone read-Hybrid Talk

[Michelle.C]

Do we stop at six pages?

[wilomn]

Thinking adults are going to disagree, sometimes quite strongly, when they are talking about something they are passionate about. All we ask is that they do it with the same respect they expect to be afforded their own thoughts and feelings.

LOL.

Thanks for the chuckle.

I still say all n' all y'all do a right fine job over here.

Can't always see the line, but mostly you know it's down there somewhere.

Of course, that begs the definition of line, but that is a conversation for another thread....

I'm gunning for 6 pages

this thread got out of hand and im over it.

How is that attitude helpfull?

the point of this thread was this and ONLY this:
many, many people (probably the majority) dislike hybrids. Many of those that dislike them have a border line hate for them.

Lucas, this is a public forum, please don't tell me that the point of a thread is something and only something. The thread goes where it goes. It's part of the debate process, and trying to curtail that free flow of ideas is dangerously close to cenorship. If you personally disagree with that, I would suggest you spend less time on internet forums...might lower your blood pressure a few points.

How will you know how the majority of posters on this forum feel about hybrids unless the debate is allowed to happen? Last time I looked, the voting was going in favor of an addtional Hybrid Forum. Please take a close look at the Hots and Giant Forums and tell me how many threads you find where people are on there bear baiting hot and giant snake supporters.

i was just SUGGESTING that people who want to talk hybrids do it out of they eye of those who hate them. i can understand why those who hate them do so and agree to a point with some of them.

Out of the eye of those who hate them? How can that ever promote a healthy debate, or even a free exchange of ideas?

I think a Hybrid Forum will serve your purpose, but if you really want to discuss hybrids in a secret society format, pony up to be a Platinum Supporter of this sight and ask for a personal forum with password entry by your invitation. You and your invitees can talk about hybrids till the cows come home, away from the prying eyes of any nay sayers.

to me a proper discussion isn't "what a waste of animals, why do you do that, and thats irrespossible". but those are opinions and are fine.

Well, which is it? Not part of a proper discussion, or fine? Really confused by this statement.

this thread isn't a discussion by any means. its people getting offended by a simple opinion/suggestion that i offered and thus coming down on me. but whatever! i said all i have to say on this.........................

You seem to be taking this thread personally....

if you knew me at all, which you don't, you'd know that i can and will argue anything. i can roll with the punches, i have tough skin, i can handle it.

....but with your thick skin, I'm sure you can power through.

Just one note...

A Yes vote is not necessarily a vote FOR hybrids, it is merely a vote for a separate forum.

A person can loathe hybrids and still vote yes with the assurance that they will no longer find hybrid threads splattered throughout the other forums.

Very good point, Bruce. I don't think I'd check out a Hybrid Forum any more than I do the Dogs Forum, but I do support having one here.

I've stated my personal oposition to hybrids, but I would like to see those interested in them have a place to discuss them. It's not like I'm going to troll the Hybrid Forum and nay say every thread.

Bruce, you never vote...it's part of your charm around here

I live to entertain you Wes, it's one of my personal goals.

Like they say... if you do not vote, then do not complain. This is how I get out of getting embroiled in the messy stuff.

The Stepford BP.netters

BTW we are getting dangerously close to 6 pages here

Page 1 for me...I have all the threads/page and posts/page maxed out...I hate having to go through page after page...

It is a great tool for those who have not changed it...it is in the CP.

Back on topic...I think a lot of members and staff have already said everything I would have said, so great job gang.

[JamieLynn]

Although I don't know much about Hybrids, other than what the mix is, I am open to having a place here to talk about them. I tried to join another forum a few weeks ago, I just can't do it BP.net is home.
I like that there are some passionate discussions, it shows people care.




now if only being married was as easy as this

[hoax]

I am sure Wes will know what I am talking about and can fill in the blanks.

I remember a saying that goes something along the lines of...

You might look stupid but why open your mouth and confirm the fact...

Or some thing of that nature.

Any way the whole point of this post was in reference to Bruce not wanting to get involved in the "messy stuff"
