The only problems I have seen is when somebody tries to drift away from their knowledge, which you have done today or doesn't follow the rules. This is not kumbaya.com If you look at the top of every page, it says in big letters - 'Home of the "Quiet Professionals"'. That's us.
However, simple problems have simple solutions. It is what it is. If you don't like it, don't come here.

NDD,
Never said I din't like it here. I enjoy reading, I don't enjoy discussing, for a couple of reasons.
As for non-SF people getting along here just fine-some of the people here don't have a military background and they worship everything that you guys say. A non-SF dissenting voice does not last long.
I do not see a lot of non-SF vets posting on this board. Maybe it's because, like you said, "Your personal opinions have no impact on this board." I can't really think of too many topics for discussion that
don't involve someone's personal opinions. Tactics, meds, gear, most things involve different techniques and/or opinions/trains of thought. And then there are topics for discussion like this one.....Are you saying that non-SF individuals opinions just don't count?
All of this started because I stated an opinion about how I MORALLY felt. I was not pretending to be knowledgeable about SF or medicine. I was not criticizing the SF people involved. You assumed that. In fact I was basically agreeing with your post.
I'm sure the docs that had to send that baby back have spent more then a few moments worrying about it's fate. How can I criticize someone like that? I can't and I won't. But like you pointed out, there are reasons for taking certain actions, whether someone agrees or not.
Another part of the problem that I have witnessed on this board between QP's and non-QP's stems from a lack of reading/listening to what the other person wrote. I'm not sure if you guys look at a topic (and the non-SF author) and then make assumptions about it, but I have repeatedly seen instances of communication problems that could have been solved if folks just stepped back and read what was written.
Never had a problem with any SF guys when I was in. Good guys, very helpful. I do have a problem of people thinking that their views are "the only way and the word of God". There's an element here of non-SF people being afraid to speak up or voice an opinion for fear of pissing off a QP. Not very conducive to a good discussion.
But that's okay, like you said, there is a simple solution to that.
Good Day.
