My friend Rashmi expects a post every day :) , so this one is specially written for her..

What is it with men and arguments ?

We have a number of newsgroups on the intranet, with categories ranging from humour, rent-buy-sell to C++, Perl programming etc etc, the usual stuff you would get to see in most software companies. What makes interesting reading is not the contents posted there, but the conversation threads that any particular article triggers.

Examples would be : Whether so-and-so article has been categorised properly, how Mr XYZ did not find Article A in the humour category amusing, whether full names should be used while posting, or the correct way to park bikes (with diagrams, mind you), why Mr ABC writes z instead of s, and similar blah blah blah...

The point is, these are not always frivolous discussions, they can turn verbally violent at times. With quite a bit of exaggeration for effect, I can very well say that if words could bite, there would have to be a resident doctor on duty, 24/7.

I agree that everyone is entitled to his opinion, but do you have to have an opinion or rather argument on everything? Give the poor guy who posted a break, man.

Now, I on my part, do not want to trigger a debate, but I noticed that no female participates in this opinions ki maara-mari.

Hmm, anything to do with a general live-and-let-live temperament?

P.S: The newsgroups make for good entertainment !!
