3. Thank you for the link. I don’t normally read comments, but I couldn’t suppress my curiosity on this one. How folks responded actually makes sense to me – and it’s heartening to see, following the author’s follow-up post, how many went, “oh, wait – this is where my reflexive response came from, and now that it’s been acknowledged and explained, I can think about the topic with a clear head”. Nice example of a fruitful dialogue, there. (Necessary caveat: the author’s choice to explain his motives was not necessary, in my eyes – in the sense that he didn’t owe it to anybody.)
