The pot is being stirred only if you allow it. I can't make you angry, you choose to be angry.

The thought being offered is just an idea. As such it is as valid as anyone elses. As we've seen this evening, more than one person agrees with the idea. If those who wish to maintain the status quo were less hostile, you might find a pleasant exchange of thoughts that leads to something better.

In any case, minus the hostility you would have a pleasant exchange. Imo, that has value in and of itself.

The real problem here is not pot stirring or difference of opinion but intolerance. People will always disagree but if it's managed properly it can be constructive.
