Kill the Culture and Burn the Pulpit Part 2: Cultural Change

[Doktor Howl]

I was rather looking forward to seeing why Doloras was convinced that the other side of the coin didn't exist.

If someone expresses an idea forcefully, while thinking something through, is that enough of an excuse to jump down their throat and call their ideas bullshit?  What's the problem with asking someone why they believe something, rather than straight-out mocking them for it?  What's the problem with handling disagreements with civility and respect?

I don't see anything offensive in Doloras' 8-post history that justifies that treatment.

Oh, fuck off.

Dok,
Has had it.

[Adios]

Frankly, I'm offended that CU expected me to take a hive culture comment seriously.

He is on some kind of '60's trip.

Besides serious posts on this site have gone to shit.

There's no such thing as "individuals". Individual humans are only partly self-aware refractions of their culture, social and media environment, and DNA programming.

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

I dunno.  When someone isn't babbling about his goddamn obsession on every third thread, you can actually have a decent conversation here.

If someone expresses an idea forcefully, while thinking something through, is that enough of an excuse to jump down their throat and call their ideas bullshit?  What's the problem with asking someone why they believe something, rather than straight-out mocking them for it?  What's the problem with handling disagreements with civility and respect?

I was saying what I thought. If CU Doloras thinks my counter argument was bullshit, then I'd hope that she would say so. I was being honest about my opinion, a sign that I respect her right to have an opinion, even if I think its bullshit. She can say or think whatever she wants to, just as I am allowed to respond however I want to.

If she's offended then she's free to say so, and I'll take that into account from then on. No big deal, mate.

Your post was spot on, don't back down one inch.

Not planning to. I'm allowed to speak my mind, just as Doloras is. My response was honest. Nuff said.

Seriously? Guess it's just me then.
