Still, I'm not sure this is one of those times.

The point of a public discussion forum is to have free, civilized discourse. Free, civilized discourse is (or should be) the cornerstone of any democratic society. While someone may have a completely valid point (whether or not you agree with it), the way in which they said it isn't civilized. Civilized discourse is supposed to provoke rational thought, not irrational emotional response. When you flame away in an uncivilized manner, you evoke the emotional response, and that's detrimental to civilized discourse. Posters would be well advised to start expressing themselves in a more civilized, sophisticated manner. If you want to make a point, you don't do it by making people angry, because then they don't listen to what you're trying to say, thus completely defeating the purpose of making a point in the first place.

Went online to ticketmaster.com at 10:00 a.m. (the on-sale time), was able to "get through" at 10:02 a.m., finally at 10:06 a.m. (after waiting in the online line), the system tells me that there are no tickets available. I understand there was a pre-sale last week, I know there are brokers, Bears season ticket holders who may have had priority, etc., but REALLY? 80,000 seats are sold out in less the six minutes?!?!?!?!?!? W...T...F???

Even though the Interwebs has made our lives better in many ways, I hate what it has done to the ticket industry. I preferred the old days when you had to sleep out for the best tickets. I slept out for tickets a few times in the 80s (in winter in Minnesota) and it was a fun time. Of course, I was a teenager then so I probably wouldn't be sleeping out for tickets in 2009.

I'm not seeing where he's going with that question, unless it is an answer to the title of this thread.
