Normally I'd read the entire thing before posting, but if I see the thing degenerate into one of those all-too-common bitch threads and I don't see anything constructive for a while, I just take whatever rational-seeming points I have and post them right away, assuming no one's brought it up yet... I'd still scroll to the bottom in case I find any posts by people I know to keep a clear head and not take any "side" in whatever's dividing the community that minute... (EDIT: However, for threads like these where someone brings up a question about what I personally do/like/think/etc. and I don't need any foreknowledge of what happened already in the thread, I'll post first and read later)
