Argue with me

A. Blinken..... Again, the other day, someone came to my work and wanted to argue with me about something I’d written. Their argument might have made sense to somebody, though not me. Still, I told them what I tell everyone: put it in the guest-book! Nothing is changed, no one is exposed to new thoughts, if you just keep your arguments to your self, or holler at me at my place of business. It doesn’t help to say, "A.B., you’re an asshole," though it might be true. It isn’t specific enough, give me an example of how I was an asshole.

* Organize your argument:

* Know what it is I said that you disagree with;

* State how you think I was wrong.

I will edit your remarks if they are just too vile, and will delete them if they advocate violence against anyone. Do not endanger, libel, or infringe on the privacy of any real person (don’t try to "out" Stoney for example... ooops!), and I’ll let your argument stand on it’s own. The guest-book is a space for free speech, and the free thought that should precede it.

Also, if you believe you are a person I’ve misquoted as a NHRN, you can use the guest-book to correct me.

If you have an opinion, do what I have done, however poorly, and do the work to organize your thoughts and put them down on electrons.

A.B.
