Think on this, please. Kierkegaard wrote once, "When you label me, you negate me". If I become a label to you, I am no longer a man. I'm just a thing. Things can easily be disposed of without thought. I wrote earlier how in war, propaganda will make monsters of the enemy to make it easier for a man to kill his fellow human. Don't fall for it. Don't use it. Don't become the things you hate. I had a boss once who when he entered a room, he would all greet us with, "Gentlemen". I asked him why once. He told me that if you call them gentlemen they will aspire to fit the label.
Mofo truth bomb right here!!!
If I have misread your intentions with these past posts then yea my bad, but I still stand by that he owes you nothing.
It is this kind of mentality, where people should never humble themselves when wrong, and own up to their accountability as to why we never get along anymore in civilized society. Sometimes swallowing your pride, and admit one could have engaged in a more tactful manner goes a long way. You will feel better about yourself because you are, gasp, growing as an individual, able to recognize your faults and better them, and you also earn respect from the party you are having discourse with. And in turn, when one is more humble, they tend to respect themselves more and more as well.
I may not always 100% agree with
Barsinister
, but, he does post compelling perspectives that do provoke thought that I may have sometimes shut off for one thing or another, and he is never laughing in someone's face as a cognitive response to challenging opinions (in one's own head)... most who laugh as a response or the like to a challenging opinion, is called cognitive dissonence, a tribal recessed defense mechanism.
From what I seen, he provides his commentary in a tactful manner, and as I said, while not always in agreement, you have to respect his form.
