varied experiences, perspectives, and values. And I also 100 % agree that they can also be helpful at arriving at a better place by the exchange of ideas. But my "differing opinion" on this issue is the WAY in which so many on CB "differ," with arrogance, disdain, belittling and dismissal. Not saying everyone's guilty of that, but I would describe some of the"responses" I got in that thread, and have experienced all too often on CB, do meet that criteria.
However, I think you responses actually show something, that you have given this some obvious thought, and I can appreciate that. We may think more alike overall than the initial conversation indicated. Sorry I was a defensive, albeit somewhat related to my own "varied experiences" I've had here on CB. Hope you have a great week.
