Reply #255: Hear Hear! Very well said, tx. Relating how people feel is valid

How people feel is not "hearsay". It's how they feel.

I came on this thread late and have been marveling at the heat, AND the talking past one another. I'm afraid it's a sign of these times--any breath of disagreement, any hint of complexity, is taken as a sign of treason to the cause. Some folks succumb to the pull of "If you're not with us you're against us" and harden their positions. They need their heroes to be saints. It makes them nervous to think otherwise. And so the accusations fly.

I, for one, appreciate the tone of reasonableness in your posts.
