My power goes out for a day, and look at the excitement I miss!
"a poster is only as good as his/her last post"...I disagree. I try to look at the person as a whole. While I try to respect everyone, there are some people here whose words I give more thought and value b/c those people have earned it. And if you're nothing but an asshole in my book, but then you start making some really good posts, it may take a while for me to take you seriously.
(Like you need my respect or approval, but that's just how I roll here.)
Shooting from the hip...sometimes, it can be very effective. But as a whole, I don't think people give too much thought to what they say. They just shoot off at the mouth or keyboard, only to sound like a dummy or feel like one later. Sometimes, it can't be helped, but I think it can be more often than not.
My hope is that the Cellar will keep its intellectual edge while not taking itself so seriously. Time will tell...
