In that case Muffy ..................... every opinion must surely be worthy of being heard.

Even if it is misguided or ill founded.

Good as long as you understand the person you dont agree with is not attacking you they are just expressing their views.

But all to often in here it becomes personal - whatever happened to the art of debate?

I cannot help feeling, Maddie, that many of the problems on this Board arise from someone who is opinionated, rather than someone who has an opinion.

Am I the only one who sees the distinction ?

Hi Muffy

I think there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, just don't force it on others, as my sister in law does.
