My own feelings about you are mixed: you've got some great ideas and keen insights and a great eye for photography, but sometimes your candor and ruthless drive for exposing inconsistencies seem anything but compassionate to me. However, your views and critiques and criticisms are valuable to me, no matter how harshly delivered, so I'm glad there are folks who are your champions here to help overcome the feedback of those who aren't appreciative of your approach.

Harry, he's got you there, Dawg. YOU do start kicking and punching before YOU even see the target clearly. IF I was your drill instructor, I'd bash your trigger-finger, so YOU could use it more gently. Nothing wrong with your aim, but you do shoot too quickly.

But Thomas, how Harry uses his speech is not cause for ANY community to censor him. For speech to remain free, it must be free for ALL of US, even unpopular speech. I think it is kinda saintly for you to try and protect Others from Harry's, sometimes too strong reactions, but it won't work.

For US to have peace, safety and security in OUR One Human Family, some folks are just gonna have to grow a backbone. Anonymous negatives inhibits growing a backbone and enables cowardice. Cowardice is what creates war, not courage.
