I usually upvote Princepawn's postings. Even when he's not right, I always welcome his criticism and his willingness to go against the crowd. Accuracy in content is important, but even when not accurate, posting your ideas is commendable, as this is such an active an open forum where almost no inaccuracy goes through unammended. The inaccurate post has thus the effect of furthering the knowledge of the poster and of those who were also in error and read.

Inaccuracy of content should not be a reason for downvoting. Maybe not a reason for upvoting; but posting, and doing so after sensible amounts of reasoning, as Princepawn normally does, shouldn't be punished. (The Apparent Inconsistencies thread that he started is probably the most interesting one in the past days.)

As for tone, I don't care about tone! Stronger opinions make for vivid discussions!
