Why if I stated that was or is it hard to believe? I want to hear the opinions of all, I may not agree with everyone, but part of me is really interested in hearing what you or anyone else may have to say, not only about this subject but anything else we may engage in conversation about. That is just how I am.

I am not sure what you meant by the underlined part of your statement, so I am asking you for clarification.

For clarification, I am asking if you were being a "devil's advocate" as it has been stated by more than one member here that it ain't cool unless you say you are "upfront" and even then.. not cool unless you are going along with the popular opinion en masse. Do I need to pull up examples? I will do so in pvt if needed. I could not discern by the contrasting statements of your previous posts if you were A) agreeing with everyone B) being devil's advocate to further the discussion to some more pertinent destination or C) just talkin or D) had no real opinion and just made this thread cause someone suggested it on the AZ boycott thread.

I was confused. Seeking public opinion is cool in my book. if that is all this is about then cool. Carry on.

Thank you for clarifying.

I never heard about having to be up front about playing DA, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And no, I don't need examples, either in private or here.

A) I have stated my opinion, several times actually. I am not sure what parts are contrasting but I will be willing to clarify if you need me to.

B) I am seeking public opinion.

C) I don't make/start threads just because people ask me to.

and finally D) It is safe to say that I hardly agree with everyone, that is not who I am. I state my points and opinions quite openly and passionately.
