So you don't think it's reasonable that he have his opinion as well? You
don't think a "seasoned" viewer/reader might have a better idea of what
is acceptable to most here?
Think about whenever some young person comes around telling you what
you're doing wrong and yet your life "experience" tells you otherwise.
Are they entitled to their opinion? Of course they are, but it would go
a long way if they knew a little more of the group and what they like
and dislike before wasting time posting.
I'm only commenting on the reasonableness of the suggestion to earn some
equity.
I disagree with Rays' posting style. As far as I can tell he never
initiates a conversation about anything other than so called news
releases. He does answer questions about cruising, but maintains no
other dialog. He never answers questions that are directed at him, which
I find distasteful.
