Prometheus 6 and I are having a stimulating conversation on his blog, stemming from his link to the Crutches post. Suffice it to say, we disagree on many things. However, this discussion is forcing me to again question what I think and believe and to flesh out those things verbally. Though my posting style here is blunt and confrontational, when I’m engaging in conversation, I try to calm that aspect of my communication down (emphasis on the word ‘try’). P6 is a tough customer and pulls no punches on what he thinks and believes: an admirable trait. (Of course I would think that. :-)
One of the great things about this conversation is that it is helping both of us clear up misconceptions that we have about the other. And related to that, we’re using clear language to set forth our conclusions and the premises behind them. Also, not the least, our assumptions are being made plain to the other.
Be advised, however, this is no parlor conversation going on here. Enjoy. I am.
