every time i come on here recently there is a debate about something, is there any point debating because no one is going be right, its just peoples opinions to the topic, and i think its ridicolous that people in recovery have to argue and have conflict like this... it isnt what aa or recovery is about....
people try and post thier stuff or a topic and are attacked .. if people dont like what they write then why reply to it ... well i think its to stir the pot.. the whole time people are debating and getting increase replys there could be a newcomer who is here for the first time and will see all this conflict and will run a mile its just plain stupid and ignorant to newcomers..

I confess to liking good discussions which are often generated by opposing points of view. And I can also see your point soberworld.
I do know this that if the newcomers come from the same bars I used to frequent, conflict won't be too foriegn to them!

Wow....wow
While it is refreshing to see you thinking so rationally...it is rather like the pot calling the kettle black. You used to have some of the very longest threads I ever saw...to the point of me ignoring them. What Growth! maybe we need to also..... or maybe a good discussion gets the blood going

Sometimes debate is the way that we learn. Discussion and seeing what other people think is certainly one of the ways that I learn and grow and that is one of the reasons that I come to this group.
I can only speak for myself but I am sure it is the same for others on here - I may be involved in debate and my own growth but i am also consantly watching for posts from newcomers and people asking for help. The board doesnt have to be one thing or another, it can serve the needs of many people at the same time.

While I think a little conflict might make a great excuse for those who aren't done with their research, I really believe most active alkies are used to if not comfortable with a little conflict.

very ture nicki but debates can also go too far especially when it becomes personal and people say it is wrong to say this and wrong to say that... every one has a opinion but sometimes people think their opinions are the only one people shud listen to and not be mindful ot others and wat they say.... thats wat i was trying to get across.
sometimes its a good thing to debate and it helps people to grow and learn but some people over step the maerk... imo

that is an issue with the people doing that not with the principle of debate itself.

if thats the case then i think people shud b mindful of wat they say. as it can come across as intimidating and argumentative...
i dont fully disagree with debates but i notice on here that the debates can last for a long time with number of people posting and then it becomes personal.... even though i can b confrontational i kno where to draw the line..
