To be fair to WOH here, I think there is some misunderstanding in the word of the use "rational".
Please keep in mind that his English is still better than most of our Hungarian
I think the word "relevant"
may be a better word (but perhaps still not right
)
I think WOH is making the point that this thread is for people who have a more deffinate opinion than "i'm happy with what I get".
Let's face it, if we all said that over and over again we wouldn't need a forum
I remember on another forum I was told off in no short order by another member when I posted on a thread about the Olympics opening ceremony. I said that I didn't watch it, and wasn't planning on watching on any of the games.
I used a couple of smilies to add a little humor to the post, but one member was quite annoyed off that I appeared to be "pissing on their chips".
His point being "if you don't like the Olympics, don't troll about them in a thread where people are interested".
I explained that I
wasn't trolling, but apologised if it was how it appeared.
To be honest, I think my opinion, that I didn't like the games, is more (here comes that word again
)
relevant than some of the posts that say they don't care who is involved.
After all, it's one thing to say "I hate the games, and I won't be watching the men's 100 meters race" and a different thing to say "I love the olympics, i'll be glued to my seat for the race, but I really don't give a damn who wins"
I
do think that it's a relevant point of view to say you'll be happy no matter who is involved, but I think it can be frustrating for some when that point prevails in several threads that are created with a more lively discussion in mind
And so, back to topic...........
