Choose one-AFF,Country Club or Arena of Influence?
 

Someone remarked to me recently that some here at AFF is viewed by some to be more of a place fellowship ... kinda like a Serority or Fraternity House ... social or a Country Club ....

While others see it as an arena of ideas ... where influence can be exerted ... and debate is highly desired and maybe even blood sport?

If you had to choose which of the two views ... best reflects the AFF ... which one would you choose?

Country Club or Arena of Influence?

Do you think that these two approaches contradict each other?
Is there a happy median?
Does your view fluctuate depending on forum tone ... threads ... etc.?

Daniel,

You are the only one that I know of that thinks it's a vehicle to influence.

I believe it's a place to fellowship, share ideas, challenge each other and learn.

I thnk the latter in your list is as important ....

AFF is a place for spleen venting..........

I wish I could remember a description Elder Epley gave of one of these forums. He called it something like a place to spit and whittle. Maybe if he reads this he can correct me.

I think we've all got our minds made up on this stuff and won't consider any change.

Dan,

If you are here to influence you might want to try a different approach.

Oh he's an influence....probably not the kind he intended to be.

I would say this is true ... for the most part.
