i was off of lactnet for a while, and i will say frankly that one of the
reasons is that so often when an interesting discussion begins, touching on
differences in practice (and things that i feel merit serious consideration),
the discussion is often completely stalled by someone protesting that they
feel personally insulted, abused, etc. (i don't just mean you chris, really).
this has the effect of completely stalling what might be a reasonable
discussion.

this is one of the criticisms used against women in the workplace - "they are
too sensitive." please, let's not let a professional discussion turn into a
venue for taking things personally. i must say that some of the people i
disagree with are probably the people whom i would find the most fascinating.

hey, i argue with jack all the time.

that is a logical fallacy, by the way. argumentum ad misericordiam.
