However I like to think that opinions are fluid things. What you wrote 2 months ago was how you felt about the topic at that point in time. Since then, you may have had experiences or read or heard something that have possibly changed your point of view. It is growth. Similarly, it is equally valid to process more data related to the topic and still arrive at the same conclusion as before. I think a bigger crime is steadfastly sticking to a point of view and refusing to question the reasons that led you to the conclusion. But then without bigots like that flame wars wouldn't half as much fun to watch :) I think we all have, on occasion, looked back at something we have said, written or coded and cringed.
