This is not the first time where FTers get accused of grilling, blaming, doubting, etc., and I am sick of it. What are we expected to do...always blindly accept what any OP says and not ask questions? Another way to look at it is to simply think of this forum as consisting of one big jury that sifts through the statements of an OP, and then decides what we think is plausible under the circumstances. Sometimes we may agree with an OP, and sometimes we may not. But it seems like lately some folks here take disagreement with an OP as being somehow inappropriate. This would not be a very helpful forum if all we did was pat any OP on the back when a post containing a complaint was made, and tell the OP that DL is always wrong. Sometimes DL is wrong, sometimes DL is right. Sometimes it's 50/50 or some other percentage of right and wrong. But the members here have the right to decide if they agree or disagree with an OP, and quite frankly I feel it's just too bad if someone here takes disagreement with an OP as somehow being mean-spirited. This isn't one big slap each other on the back, cry on each other's shoulder, place. And I apply this line of reasoning to myself as well. Sometimes we need someone else to tell us we are off base in our line of thought. I like to think I am person enough to consider someone else's viewpoint here, even if it is different from mine. Apparently others here aren't.
