Maybe I should have...I am always open to dialogue. Maybe I should have been more clear. What I was trying to convey was that don't have any desire to argue, particularly with people I don't know or haven't really known in a few years. I haven't found in my own internet experiences that when things get into the realm of argument that things can be dealt with beyond a certain point. Anonymity and distance have a strange way of affecting debates where the primary means of communication is necessarily written. In more than a few cases, "reply" is simply too easy to press and the space too "safe" for people to misbehave. Even very clever people can grow abusive given the right setting. <br /><br />So in short, I didn't want my blog to become an avenue of abuse to or for anyone, but dialogue is fine and welcome. I am simply reserving the right to not proceed beyond a certain point of impasse and informing the potential reader at the outset that I have no intention of this space turning into the kind of place so many other blogs can be. Even well-intentioned ones.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663165105141631446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836211805644138233.post-69271890467654273602011-07-31T10:26:01.581-04:002011-07-31T10:26:01.581-04:00I have a question for you.

One reason it's not clear is not you don't explicitly invite comments. I'm just sayin. ;)Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070272906323124130noreply@blogger.com
