Livre d'Or

It is different in that I am doing my own thing with all due care taken for civility. I am very unlikely to make a personal attack in any case, and I can see no circumstance in which I might do so on the journal of some person whom I don't know.

However, engaging with an idea is a different thing. Engaging with a stupid or actively harmful idea strikes me as a morally positive thing to do - and one of the principles I am both coming from and actively trying to promulgate is that being able to tell the difference between a personal attack on you and the rejection of an idea that you hold is important, and that a priori by definition conflating the two is... pretty childish, really. If an idea is somewhere I can read, it's fair game. That's what honest communication means.
