I get that anyone can google stuff and present an idea or opinion.  Sometimes a person's experience means a lot if the subject matter is what they do. The important point is to have participation from many.  I for one do not want to see the same people monopolizing or utilizing this site to forward their own personal agenda, i.e. cars, vs, bikes, vs transit.  People need to not think so highly of themselves on here if we want to continue to encourage others to join and help pay for this site. Just something to consider when you are self-reflecting....

If someone is new to a site, maybe they should see it as an opportunity to learn something, instead of just calling basic facts "nonsense" because they don't like them.

Of course, you're also calling basic facts "an opposing view", and accusing people (me I assume) of pushing an agenda, the only agenda I am pushing is towards facts.

Of course, I don't know that you can hear anything I'm saying way up there on your high horse...now I am being disagreeable.

Edit: Ahh shucks, robdrimmie's response is first and way way more well spoken...

Sorry you think I am on a high horse, I was simply trying to remind people to be inclusive and respectful...Not one person owns this site.  However, if I am on a high horse, at least a horse is a good alternative transportation option than more cars and roads...
