Snoopy! and his Pups woody reply Goody bye!!!!!!!!!!
Snoopy did a great fisking of the original posting. His
questions were
polite and very reasonable. If one is going to post about
"controversial"
topics one cannot complain when much of it is dissected.
Implying the topic
at hand is too esoteric is often the last resort when
one cannot logically
or factually rebut something.
People are very
attached to their beliefs, much more attached than they
usually let on.
When they are called on them they often depart, usually with
a few
ad-hominems thrown in for good measure ;-)
IMO the lack of replies is
nothing to do with not wanting to expand
horizons, but is because by and
large the topic has been done to death and
no one cares
anymore.
Regards,
Ruth
>>Hi Woody,
I have
always held your posts in very high regard and your last post was
no
exception.
It was excellent - pioneering - and very brave -
proposing the exploration
of uncharted territory and encouraging everyone
to broaden their horizons
(think outside the box).
In a
brain-storming session, participants are encouraged to 'think outside
the
box', take a non-judgemental perspective, and contribute both pros and
cons
in a positive manner.
In this way, new ideas that may have great merit
are not squashed before
they are considered in their entirety.
Your
post reminded me of this, and as a life-long learner, I can say I was
truly
excited by your post, your pioneering spirit, and the prospect of
exploring
these possibilities through the ensuing exchanges.
Of course, to be
effective - it helps to have more than one contribution so
I can totally
understand your recent response.
Also, there is some risk associated
with proposing anything new and there is
always some resistance (and
rejection) of the unknown and of uncharted
(please forgive the pun)
territory.
There are some very knowledgeable and experienced people who
contribute to
this forum and I sincerely hope they re-weigh the possible
benefits against
the personal risk of derision through exploring something
new, offer to
contribute, and help you to reconsider, BUT; even if that
doesn't happen, I
still hold hope you will reconsider and stay -
please?
Regards,
Cris
