And I agree with Misty - it is sad that others here are hesitant to post about some things.
In essence what we have talked about is this articles' short-comings. She now can read our comments - learn some more - about how others viewed the article and maybe go away with a more critical mindset when pursuing other articles of this genre. That is a win win for her. |
I'm sorry but I respectfully disagree. I don't often see what you call denigration here. I believe the complaints have gotten completely out of line....there are many of us who are now afraid to post in disagreement because we know we are being reported left and right. I have been grouped with people even though I speak my own mind....there is no gang here as has been alleged (atleast not that I know of) ...unless it is on the other side. Sometimes we see in others what we don't want to see in ourselves.
Works both ways.
When I saw the OP here, I backed far away from it. I was "afraid" to post....is that fear real? Who knows. I am thinking some of the others "side's" fears may be real...some not so much.
Just my two cents.
