BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Just a general note about debating on the forum...

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** January 25, 2015 2:38 pm

We all know that debates can easily become heated and passionate with the varying opinions that we all have on different elements of the show.

This is just a polite reminder, however, that your opinion is not everyone else's opinion, so when you're putting your argument across, if everyone could use phrases such as:

"...in my opinion...."
"...I think that..."
"...I don't/do believe that..."
"...Personally...."

etc etc, that would be really great.

It just makes posts easier on the eyes to read and don't automatically come across as antagonistic or aggressive.

Thanks!

Thank you Boss. Sticking to that will make quite some discussions here a bit more relaxed again, IMO.

Late to the party, but thank you, Boss. This is very important for a relaxed atmosphere.
