I think that this is a good place to put this, but feel free to move it.
One thing that I've noticed a lot in myself, when it comes to how I use the forum, is that in a way, my opinion and the application of it don't always match up. A lot of the questions/posts that I respond to on here, are things that I haven't really given much thought to before. So, I take a few minutes to think about and formulate a response because it fascinates me. At the moment, that's what I think/believe/etc, my response is, to the best of my ability, accurate to myself. But it's also just a kind of gut reaction with a pinch of personal logic thrown in. And listening to the way everyone responds, examining that opinion more deeply, responding to questions, figuring out details, it really helps me develop those opinions and ideas. A day, week, month later, I could have a completely different response, depending on the situation, which is equally true to myself in that moment. Or I'll notice that the way I worded something doesn't exactly match what I was trying to get across. I love this place because it gives me the opportunity to really examine these things.
So, I'm just curious, is this the way most of you approach the forum, or is it more simple interaction, you're set in your view of the world, and this is just a place to share?
