I posted a similar thread on this topic not too long ago...
Deny Ignorance: A How-To Guide
Of course the irony in my title is intentional....I have no issue with the semantic restraints of our motto, but rather its prolific use as a form of
negating a previous poster's point - if someone dislikes your comment they'll say something like "just another person who hasn't denied
ignorance" - that comment in itself is ignorant....but as a few people pointed out in my thread above, it's not so much meant to be an insult or a
difference of opinion, but in truth, a motivating factor for the other member to get more involved and see things from another persepctive
Our motto is fitting for our members and our posts - It feeds on everything at ATS...and I enjoy denying my own ignorance quite frequently, as my
avatar will show - lol
