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<\/a>, both here<\/a>, over here<\/a>, and over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In other words, as much as it seems I run off at the mouth at times, a lot goes into each of those comments.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> (thanks, BD), or the interrogators of WWII<\/a>, or Mozart’s wife<\/a>.  My apologies.<\/p>\n

I suspect the conversation will die down shortly, though, and we’ll be able to return to the usual potpourri of trivia.  Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
