You indicate that you are just "posing a rhetorical question and an idea". Why bother? If they are just rhetorical and not in need of any responses or feedback, then why post them on a forum? It seems you end up with a lot of frustration having to defend these questions and ideas that you don't want answers to anyway.
Why is it wrong to pose a question? Why is it wrong to have an idea and share it?
What is wrong with a dialog about that idea?
And when did you become the arbiter of what can, should or should not be posted on this forum?
I experience a lot of laughter and some head shaking moments when I read some of the responses and how they completely miss the point. I also have moments of incredulity at how worked up you and a few others get every time I post something.
But of all the emotions this activity brings frustrations is seldom one of them...unless I am using the spell checker which is about on a 5th grade level.:)
A rhetorical question is one in which you don't want or ask for a response. My point is that if you were asking a RHETORICAL question as you state, then why bother. That is not opening up a dialogue, it's talking at people. And when you talk AT people on a forum, you usually end up not liking the results.
If you mean you were posing a THEORETICAL question then that is different.
As for getting worked up, no one gets any more worked up than you do. The idea that everyone else is worked up, but you are just shaking your head in disbelief is condescending. It's been over a day since anyone had posted on this, but you had to respond after the conversation had moved on? Yet, we're the ones who are worked up?
