We did - often when I post something long I've discussed the idea with others, thought about it for some time before I write it down. The writing is spontaneous but the composition overall is not.
I rather prefer people who agree with me, but only because they understand the issues and come to similar conclusions. Yes-people suck, and I don't keep people with various viewpoints around just for their diversity. To me there is just right and wrong, and difference just gives me the pain of congnitive dissonance if there isn't substance to their views. If their views are superior to my own, I will adopt them as my own.
How analytical I sound...in theory. Application mileage probably varies.
