[DMCForum] Re: Controversy

["dmcgman" <DmcGman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will agree with Mike and some others that I believe you like to 
stir controvesy and troll looking to snag poeple into it, and I also 
find one out of ten of your posts worth reading ;-)  I will however 
also say I do not find it to be a personal attack, I just think you 
enjoy it.  Just the same opinon many would seem to have hence the 
dunking booth :-)

Also debating is fine, but when anyone tells a one hand account of 
an event, should that account be taken as absolute fact?  My point 
was to say that I am sure there are other sides to it and probably  
a completely different account from the toher party or parties 
involved.  That has simply been my experience when going to an 
accident or other event I did not witness, and getting second hand 
accounts.  Most stories posted here about encounters with police or 
sheriffs or whatever, are just an excuse to vent.  Again most not 
all. They don't originally for a debate, that is just what usually 
follows.
