RE: Beta Testing of smackdown.kitty is beginning...

Simply saying 'read it again' does not achieve anything, because if you know your argument well, you can express it in a new way, that may succeed in reaching my awareness.

I am more than aware of the fact that by exercising my power, I may cause harm through error, and that I may also be deluded or blind to elements of my theory guiding my action, and it is for this reason that I am so keen to enter the discussion process, before I take this to the wider community.

We can continue this tomorrow, unless you have lost the heart to do so, or can prove to me by my own words that I have made a mistake in my judgement. My sense from the emotional undercurrents of this comment here, that you, like me, probably are tired of what is a mentally exhausting process of point and counterpoint, and especially in your case, because I think we may have slightly come to cross-purposes because you feel that your arguments are valid, and spent a lot of time enumerating them, and you think I have missed something important.

Don't forget that the original post I made, dwarfs the length and breadth of your responses to my interactions with you

Don't forget that the original post I made, dwarfs the length and breadth of my original post, as well as your responses to my responses to you so far, so you are not alone in having poured a lot of thought into this, I had to modify the post with a newspaper-style summary section, and I edited it more than a few times.

Not only that, but I have the disadvantage of being the first mover on this, in an area where a lot of complacence has accumulated, in the entire community, and recognising that I can benefit from demonstrating my capacity for good judgement, as well as the audacity to speak out. By being the first to speak up, I am subject to the reflexive responses, and I take every response as seriously as I can in order to continue to refine it and further dissolve the disagreement. I can only do this because I am centering my argument in abstract, universal principles, and I believe that this is necessary for someone who wishes to take on the responsibility of being part of community leadership.

Well, this may well be the case, and I will re-read your post, in detail, instead of mostly skimming it, out of respect. For the time being, it is time I gave due regard to my need to sleep.

Sort:  

Fair enough. Sleep well, I am off on a journey tomorrow, but, tired or not, am absolutely willing to engage with you per the requirements and purposes you state here, that you want to carefully examine the issues so as to achieve the benevolent purposes you intend.

I also am more than happy to dissolve disagreement. I apologize for any tone of disrespect, but greatly appreciate your willingness to at least read what I wrote, because we cannot dissolve disagreements unless we at least make an effort to understand one another.

Anyway, get some sleep, and feel free to post at me any time, and I will answer as best I can as soon as I can.
