Very intelligent persons will simply correct me if they know better than I do, but they are not irritated. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

How can I know if I > dislike your views if I don't read them? Reading a few posts from a person gives an indication of his/her way of thinking. One can read or ignore future posts based on that. In any case even if people express opinions I disagree with, its not as if I have to abandon my views and adopt theirs so I don't see why some people feel so threatened. Convincing arguments can change not very sound views sometimes- if the people are open minded i.e. - so it makes sense to reason with them. When they are not open to reason and new ideas trying to convince is a waste of time, best to move on. > -- > PB > The return address has been MUNGED > My travel writing: http://www.iol.ie/~draoi/ |
