Um, I rest my case?

I haven't called anyone a coward. *I* haven't engaged this issue as much as *I* would like to because everytime I have, I've found myself in an intractable personal brawl rather then a constructive conversation. Much like the one I find myself in now. I'm frustrated that I seem to find fewer and fewer people who are willing to talk about this stuff rather then fight about it. I managed to extrapolate that into an observation about the nature of blogging that I (still) think is interesting. It wasn't directed at anyone and it sure as hell wasn't some kind of edict. And yet you've decided to take it personally and you've attacked me for saying it.

I'm glad that you and flynn have been able to find constructive conversation about this stuff. I haven't. I can't even talk about how I can't talk about this stuff without getting attacked by someone. Thank you for proving my point.
