I agree. I even though I disagree with Cybear, I think he should be congratulated in articulating his viewpoint in a civil and intelligent manner, which was relatively free from personal attacks (except when he called everyone who disagreed with him a racist). This is all the more commendable in view of the fact that he had little assistance from other members.
I noticed that the quality of his argument vastly improved after I introduced him to the WWDSD? (What Would Dallas Steve Do?) Method, or should I say lifestyle. Since adopting this philosophy back in 1978, my life, both personally and professionally, has changed profoundly. Even Cybear transformed himself from an angry and hostile malcontent to an intelligent and effective debater after my self-help recommendation.
So when you're out and when you're down, what would you do if Dallas Steve was in your town?
