reread this thread.
i would avow a willingness to compromise, i suppose, at least discursively in this space.
but i wonder if simply saying this is a step toward eliminating the possibility of debate here.
i keep wondering if there is another way to do this.
debate could be encouraged but with a kind of remove, so that people understand that even confrontational positions are elaborated against arguments made and not against the person making the argument.
it would be a shame if a consequence of worrying about the cranking up of tempers would lead to be undermining of the possibility of heated discussion.
