I am going to second this post after what went down on this list within the last few weeks. I, for one, don't feel like posting anything here anymore for fear of being ruthlessly judged and cornered into a defensive position rather than being engaged in a constructive argument. There are a lot of other things I can say on this, but I won't. That would be my two cents... On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 7:44 AM, jeremy hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu> wrote:
I would just like to remind people of the principle of charity, which holds that before we evaluate a position, concept, theory, or argument, we first try to understand its most convincing, persuasive, or strongest form.
