...leaves something to be desired. As Jeff says, perhaps it's a language thing, but I find you can be overly aggressive.

: For me, is important to demonstrate that, before expressing an opinion, you have to learn and develop an argument. But is not so important for all...

Equally, it is important to listen to what the other side have to say in any discussion. It doesn't work to ignore what they have to say and even worse is to read other things into their words than what they have said, wilfully or otherwise.

And have a point and stick with it. Develop it, sure, but don't bring in vague parallels and allegories that don't really work and only serve to confuse the issue. What did the exotic 1563 or Silverstone really have to do with the discussion and what did they bring to it? For me, they only served to derail the theme.

Everyone is allowed an opinion. Everyone is allowed to express it here. They may not have handled the object in question, but does that prevent them from having any opinion on it at all? In this world of HD and above monitors and with so much information and precedent now available? I don't think so.

Read the responses. Step back. Think about it. Am I arguing more emotively than I would if I didn't own one of the watches in question?

That way we can have a friendly, fruitful discussion. I look forward to more of those.
