It does not feel good being attacked or accused in a broad sense when I see that in others' language, and I don't feel motivated to respond to anything of that kind. For me, my goal in any discussion is to learn ~ not to get engaged in cynical arguments. I feel we get nowhere very fast on that point. There's no progress.
This thread happens to interest me because I don't know a lot about the bigger picture, and I feel we have a chance of achieving that if we can be cool about our differences and learning from each other.
