*beep, beep* Hi!

[Garnet]

Hello everyone! I followed Beasst over here. Followed, not stalked. Really.

Looks like an interesting place and I look forward to some good discussions.

Focus on issues not on personalities.

Never claim victory for yourself, but take quiet satisfaction when your opponents demonstrate that they have run out of arguments by resorting to insults.

Don't be afraid to be wrong, that's how we learn. If you are wrong about some point, hope that someone will do you the favor of pointing it out.

Ask for evidence.

Look for assumptions.

Excellent advice. It is a shame that many present members do not understand and follow.

Welcome Garnet. You are wise to start slowly -- provided that you start.
