Wow. What was all that about, then? I go away for a few days and all Hell breaks loose. Then the flames burn out – or, more accurately, get doused – and nothing happens for ages. And now the survivors stand up, dust themselves off, and go back to work.
Wish I’d been at ground zero. Looked like a laugh. It’s good to stir things up sometimes. We don’t have enough open disagreement here – that can make it seem a bit stuffy, I suppose. There’s no harm in attacking someone’s ideas, and nobody can like every person they meet (face to face or otherwise). As long as arguments are civilly presented, and backed up by reason and intelligence, I see no reason why we shouldn’t kick out the jams.
On a personal note, if anyone disagrees with something I post – an opinion, a contested fact, anything – I invite them to take me up on it. That way lies fun.
