I agree with this, also I think at times the moderators can be curt.
I dont mind anyone disagreeing, it's really good to hear different points of view and try to view things from other angles, but for me it's the constant pointless nitpicking that is unnecessary and why some people probably leave. Its also very easy to get annoyed and defensive when you feel someone is trying to nitpick at you. Especially when something is close to your heart, one recent post springs to mind.
Sometimes I see a new poster and just think, two weeks max buddy, and sure enough they are gone or banished or whatever.
Anyone who gets upset by what an anonymous individual says in cyber space needs to see a shrink imo.
So what?I agree with this, also I think at times the moderators can be curt.

One person's attention to relevant detail is another person's nit picking.
One person's direct, fact based approach is another person's put down and ridicule.
Some say "to-mah-toe" others say "to-may-toe"...
Huh!?Well, I couldn't see that reasoning standing up in a bullying at work investigation but.........

Huh!?
Yeah - but what has "a bullying at work investigation" got to do with how a discussion forum such as this is run?I mean there would be a strictly judged criteria regarding where the line lay between ,for instance, 'nit picking' and 'attention to factual detail' and a decision made accordingly.

So what is it then?I was pointing out that there is a definite difference between nit picking and paying attention to factual detail

I was pointing out that there is a definite difference between nit picking and paying attention to factual detail and was basically saying 'well, I couldn't see your reasoning standing up in court'. (That's a saying by the way).
So what is it then?
I thought you said that there was a definite (objective?) difference between the two? Are you now saying that it's a subjective issue?I would say:
Did you actually mean "nitpicking is when someone..."? Otherwise your sentence doesn't make sense.nitpicking is someone who makes small and unneccessary criticisms which don't move the debate forward

I can't believe you said that! I won't sleep tonight...Anyone who gets upset by what an anonymous individual says in cyber space needs to see a shrink imo.

I dont always see the necessity to be so curt.
