It is what normal people talk outside forum Khun David. Yesterday I went to an Italian place. The italian chef said he makes the best risotto without ending with the "imo" or "given my preference". I caught my attention so ordered it. Damn it was so good I thought if there is anything better out there. It is what normal confident people say when trying to stress the point.

I hear you and I agree but if it was here they'd want to know if he's tasted all the pasta in the world before eating it!

Peter, is this your thinking behind the opening post? Any proclamation of “best” based on some experience is as valid as any other proclamation of “best”? Each of us can happily — and validly — have our own “best”?

I thought you had something more specific, more consensus-based, in mind.

Maybe food is different than audio?

I know I make the best baked salmon even if I never had Peter’s baked salmon. And I didn’t even go to chef school over the weekend.

What is a stouch?

to hit or punch. noun. fighting, violence, or a fight. the fights here are all words and sticks and stones etc

Tinka is vegetarian, but if she has a bite she likes it. My salmon is Lola’s single favorite food.

How many minutes do you bake it for? And where do you buy it from?

Ah, stoush!

The fresher the better, so preferably right from the fisherman. I like it very rare, so I bake a one inch thick piece for 14 minutes at 190.6° Celsius.

No difference, it’s about having fun Ron.

Come on Mike. @Mike Lavigne. What is your recipe? Any best dish. Let's hit a restart button. Clean slate.

All the regulars hit restart.

 

[bonzo75]

Maybe during my visits everyone can offer me their best dish so I can write two reports, one on system and one on food. I can assure at least one will feel good

 

[Solypsa]

Food says a lot about people. I think @bonzo75 is on to something

To make this forum a civil room where we can socialize without grudges. It is best not criticize or talk about the poster but the content he posted. If the way he post has some character that lead a reader to perceive of the poster, just keep it to oneself no need to tell off. Just accept how the posters are. You dont like you dont read when you see that poster show up. No need to say what you think of the poster publicly in the forum to keep it civil. I made a mistake a few times too and I learned. How one writes something in forum reflect how he/she is. Readers can read those reflection themself. No need to express in the open how you personally interpret or judge the poster. It is not good for both parties. And certainly risking personal confrontation and losing civility.

Another thing, why is it mandatory that we must write "imho" every time we write something. What a person write already declares by itself that it is his damn own opinion. it is him who writes it therefore his opinion. If I write "This is the best in the world" isnt this already my opinion? Why do I have to follow up with "imho" or "given my personal preference" every time. The readers are so stupid not knowing what he said was his opinion and his opinion derived from his set of preference or belief? I am not enforcing my opinion to others to accept and I dont care if they accept it or not. But I sure will respect his opinion if someone say something like that and wouldnt try to debate with him to win him over or convince him otherwise. You can write if you agree or not agree of the content but dont step beyond the boundary of content and into the zone of the poster himself.

I apologize Micro. I use this space to say my general view. Your writing is somewhat a trigger but I am talking generally not directing my message to you.

Oh puleeezee, Tang.

In your first paragraph you write about how we should just deal with the content of posts, but not attack the poster himself.

In the second paragraph you do just that, personally attack the poster.

And then, in the third paragraph, you half-heartedly try to smooth it over.

Well, there goes your credibility out the window.

Or was this whole post just a lousy joke?
