An Open Letter to Right Wingers

I really dont' see it as a brouhaha. I think everyone has been really polite, maybe a bit vigorous. I admire very much those who disagree with me who are respectful and polite -- even if they don't say m uch of anything, or post seperately. I think it's totally fine. There's no harrassment or anything like that. This really isn't a political site, but I don't think we should abandon a whole swatch of thought out of fear of confrontation or disturbance.

If it gets unruly, maybe we just all step back for a bit. But there's no real need to be mean or hateful. WHich by the way, Alcuin's post is thoughtful and nice. I don't agree with it, but I admire it.

So... my fellow bastard... yay! no grownups!
