more like not conforming to the majority might be the only reason you've been railed.
WRONG. The only times I've been railed is when I did not speak from experience, or have adequate factual information to back my arguments/statements and/or point of view. My assertions were therefore fundamentally flawed & I was offered appropriate evidence to the contrary.
This has been the fundamental premise of my more recent posts. Don't just toss an opinion out unless you've thought it through. Just regurgitating the mainstream media hype and/or the slant of the left or right does not cut it with me.
