I feel like I’ve been a bit light in the posting the last couple of days. Part of that has been that I’ve been involved in ongoing conversations on the Greta Christina post, both here, over here, and over here.
A comment was made that I am “prejudiced in favor of debate.” That is probably so (especially since debate implies an expression of ideas in a controlled and relatively safe environment, which is just what Conflict-Averse Guy prefers). But each of the comments I’ve made has taken a lot of thought, a lot of consideration, a lot of “What do I really feel about this?” “What do I really think about this?” “How do I get this point across?” “How can I say this without sounding like a jerk?” “How do I harness my own anger here?” “Am I being honest?” “Am I being fair?” “That seems wrong, but is it a knee-jerk reaction on my part or something I just can’t yet put into words?” etc.
In other words, as much as it seems I run off at the mouth at times, a lot goes into each of those comments.
So a most of my creative and emotional mojo has gone there the past couple of days, rather than telling you about Russell’s Teapot (thanks, BD), or the interrogators of WWII, or Mozart’s wife. My apologies.
I suspect the conversation will die down shortly, though, and we’ll be able to return to the usual potpourri of trivia. Stay tuned.
You are very welcome sir. 🙂
