I came back here after a little time away to try and talk about Saints news, but in less than an evening you've reminded me your opinion has to be the one people agree with.

Cheers, won't contribute in future.

Just sharing my opinion, as well, Diz. Doesn't it matter?

I don't give a rat's arse if you agree with it yourself. Or if anyone does. But, I have just as much of a right to share and explain my opinion as do you or anyone else here, right?

Forum

Definitions from Oxford Languages
fo·rum
/ˈfôrəm/
noun

1.
a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
"it will be a forum for consumers to exchange their views on medical research"

This implies that differences of opinions are not only expected, but by definition required.

If I have a differing opinion I will, under the definition of a forum, exchange my opinion. By all means, if you disagree with anything I post PLEASE give reasons why my assertations are unfound and take part in the exchange. That is is the implied function of a forum.

It's not your opinions that irk me or that I disagree with, it's the immediate accusatory verbage you take when others try to share opinions that don't align with yours.

I made a comment on what I would feel, if Olave left or chose to retire. You accused me of projecting my feelings for said opinion.

Not asking you to care about agreeing with opinions, just some common decency would be a nice start.

Went back and read what I wrote. It was not meant to be an attack on you. At that point I was speaking to the opinion in general. I have seen others saying that he, or any others with some history, should quit their dream when it is their choice to make. If you took it as directed at you then you must have felt part of where my attention was given. Like I said, a forum is a place to exchange opinions. Our feelings and what knowledge we have are what we base our opinions upon. Personally, I welcome anyone to explain why they disagree with my opinions and give reasoning behind their belief. I'll never take it personally however it is logically presented.
