Polemics at The Blue Door

Sorry I didn’t write anything last night, folks.  Well, actually I wrote quite a lot, but on Mrs. Chili’s blog.  We are enjoying a stimulating exchange of political ideas on this post,  including what will surely be the longest comment I’ll ever write.

(I was a bit embarrassed at the length this morning.  I should have written it on a separate page, and then posted a pointer to it.)

I never enter a political back-and-forth thinking I can change anyone’s mind.  I do, however, enjoy the disagreement as a stimulus for critical thought.  I think we’re accomplishing that effectively.

  1. I agree – I was a little scared when that post started taking on a life of its own, but Blue Door readers are a smart and polite bunch, and we’ve managed to have a good, thought-provoking conversation (that’s still going on!).

  2. Lack of what we have experienced together over the past couple of days was a big factor in my leaving Usenet, which was where I burned most of my polemic oil before I started blogging.

    When it finally got through to me how small a pond I was swimming in, it wasn’t that hard to pull the plug.
