I will let you onto a little secret:
I been wading through all the different takes, opinions and arguments for BD (as you can imagine) in many subjects (Esp economics and politics)...it is quite a fascinating country for me (even here - in a more extreme "feelings" nationalist defence setting etc).
I don't mind the bruises I get (and those I give back etc)...as long as I learn more in the end
and maybe some can learn from me....and I sift the men from the boys from the toddlers etc.
That is really the whole point of me being in this forum and certain subforums. I put in a more contextual way to
@Joe Shearer here:

The ppl I respect in the end, I do for various reasons (whether they agree or disagree with me is not important) because they can persevere and both compromise where it makes sense, but have a stiff resolve where that makes sense too. This balance is found in some members, but others not so much....generally it correlates quite well to how much they resort to repeated emotion rather than actual discussion etc...but some exceptions lie even there. A little humour/mocking etc.. is good and all from time to time...but when it turns the same old deep mean-spirited stuff, well it tells more on the person rather than the topic.
Really in the end I wish for BD, the exact same I wish for India, Pakistan and oppressed developing countries in general: to have politicians and leaders
that serve their people....
rather than other way around like it is mostly today. Really, about 99% of the serious problems faced (and even huge amount of the non-issues that people like to argue/bash with on internet) would evaporate. That to me is where true nationalism, patriotism...whatever you call it always has to start.
