I have seen , not just here but across the net on many other discussion forums, discussion starters feel that everyone should agree with them and their topic of discussion . Is this the right approach , while starting a discussion? Should we not be open to all points of view,positive,negative,new...

In that case we should abolish the opposition system from every where including politics. Every coin has two facets and each one is as important. This is discussion that brings the reality on surface, if a discussion starter has some thing for sure then what is the need of discussing it.
All we can have an 'aye aye' button.


Very well said! As you said, if there is no scope for disagreements then what is the point of discussions? In fact, I feel that only the discussions that is open to all point of views can become an interesting one and also beneficial for all participants


yes...by seeing the same topic through different angles......through different minds of different people, actually we are learning a lot and getting new ideas and views.

Ha ha ha!! :laugh: Yes, providing such people with aye aye button should do it! but such people are really nothing but conversation killers!!!


Honestly I see a lot of them in that role - post one general cliched sentence and you have no way of taking the discussion further.I wish people would add only when they have something to contribute instead of posting simply to collect points !!! That is even worse than the over enthusiastic kind ... :dry:


yes, but then we do know those are not posted with the intention of carrying the discussion further! :lol:
If a discussion can reach a conclusion agreeable to everyone, it's a perfect discussion. Since nothing in perfect in this world, we can just make it the best, though not perfect...thinking the same problem from both ends.


It is not possible to reach a conclusion all the time , since many things get added and many things remain unresolved ,,,It may not always be agreeable to everyone no matter how much one may discuss.But at the same time, we get to know all the different points of view ...
Discussions on any topic is just to put forward our points. We all are different from each other and thus or thinking and ideology is also different. While discussing a particular topic, we generally put forward our way of thinking. We may answer in the favour or against the topic or we may be indifferent. It depends....



As long as there is some relevant matter in what we post it does not matter whether it is in favor,against or indifferent...We also should be open to others point of view to get the maximum benefit out of a discussion..

Yes, that's why i told nothing is perfect :cheer:
Yet, if we are able to get some nice views from people of different ideas, then it can be called a nice discussion.
Also, if a person reads all other persons' views before posting a reply, thus maintaining a continuity of discussion, it's really worth to read even if no conclusions reached yet

In case we have reached to a conclusion on that discussion, then we should close or request to close that particular discussion to the chair thanking every one who participated, instead of going on further or keep repeating nothing in particular.

a conclusion normally means an end to the conversation so it is not intended more often. But something like a group discussion, a conclusion is expected and desirable because that is the prescribed format of it. So first it is essential to understand what kind of conversation the initiator has intended there!

Yes that makes sense ! Once you have exhausted all the possibilities and added enough material it is better to close the thread and send it t archives ...Otherwise you keep getting meaningless one liners that only help in adding points ..

Yes I agree with that ! I feel that with new members coming in and new ideas being developed , there is no conclusion to a discussion idea,unless of course it covers a very narrow range ..
Discussion should be open for all points. If the points are positive or negative then only discussion going in the correct direction. Purpose of discussion is to know the views of others.

But there should be an end to every thing good or bad. If we cannot reach to a conclusion with in a stipulated time frame then the chances are you shall never reach.

That is true....But more often we see members trying to get others to agree with their point of view which simply defeats the purpose of any discussion..
I think we should wait for another week to see the changes to take place. I hope a new guideline is on the way with new team taking over.

Sure Sunil, I hope they streamline everything including the number of posts per day, so that only a certain number of posts each day get points and once you reach the limit you dont get any points, that will bring down one liners and spamming drastically...

Now that is really a nice suggestion which I hope the admin will seriously consider....

Lets hope so...otherwise it becomes difficult find any discussion where one can post something relevant,it is more like private gossip and conversation between a couple of members...
If some one feels that his views cannot be contradicted and all must agree with him, it is no use discussing at all. There can be contrary opinions, which must be respected. It is okay to give arguments in favor of one's viewpoint but counter arguments should also be heard and rep[lied to. It is no use obstinately clinging to a particular view point.

I am afraid that this suggestion would even be considered. While they are paying you extra awards for writing more in shape of member of the week and up to 10th position, why would they like to curtail the participation!! That doesn't help the sites interest and no other forums in the world restrict participation in any way.

When you gave nothing new to say in favor or disfavor of a view, discussion ends. All that we need ensure is that any content is not repeated.
